Does anybody know RELIABLE long-term weather forcast site on the Net?
Sorry, I don't know in which section to put this question, so I'm just posting it in the most visited one - and I guess, weather is a big issue for all of us...I used weather.com for a long time - but lately their forcasts became totally wrong...Does anybody know RELIABLE site to get the weather, even if it's by paid subscribtion? Also - where can I get long-term weather forcasts for a region or country in advance? Thanks!

whether or not their weather's there
For Canadian destinations, use www.weathernetwork.ca
Just type in the city/province and ta dahh, lots of usefull data like temps, precip, wind, UV levels, pollen counts, smog - even traffic and construction for large municipal centres.
Their long range forecasts are as reliable or un as any. -
Weather, shmether
Irina --
You are in New Orleans, for goodness sakes...there is no such thing as a reliable long-term weather forecast other than, here at the beginning of summer, "it will be hot and humid punctuated by periods of hurricane!" Those are at least three of the reasons I try to escape to Northern climes for the season.
I rely on weather.com, but carry an umbrella even on clear days. If the forecast says the expectation of rain is any more that 10% I carry a towel and a change of clothes. If it says 50% chance of rain I don't bother going out -- in their own strange statistical universe 50% means assured rain!
I also keep "weatherbug" in my "system tray." (I just tried to find a URL, but it is a "pop-up" and I don't know where to look. It is probably weatherbug.com). This gives me a current temp. reading at the bottom of my screen and it cricket-chirps at me when there is an active weather alert.
The ski resort I used to work at in NY state paid thousands of dollars a year for a site-specific weather forecast that, as far as I could see, was no more accurate than the local doppler radar geeks at the TV station. Indeed, your friendly local Voodoo Priestess may have better advice for you!

Long term weather
they boast an 80% accuracy. They base things on the past years of keeping weather patterns and can predict the weather from 6 months up to a year ahead in some circumstances. I have used it before it became a pay service and found them useful and reliable...scarily so.
use this information as you will, believe it if you want.

I checked it out - it looks great. It's a paid service - 40$ a year, but if it works, it will pay for itself...I loose a lot of money by going to festivals and being rained out...
And I don't stay in NOLA in summer - it is way too hot.Comment
