7 day forecast: questions

How reliable is a 7 day forecast?

The first three or four days are usually reliable for temperature and for which days are wet. Days five to seven are good for the broad pattern (unsettled or settled, mild or cold) but timings of rain can shift by a day or more. Our 14 day page shows how much the model runs agree for each day.

Why compare rain with normal?

A week with 15 mm of rain is very wet in London and fairly dry in Fort William. Setting the total against the 1991 to 2020 average for the same week shows whether the week is unusual for that place.
