Nobody can accurately forecast 3 months ahead. It's hard enough to
forecast 1 week ahead! The UK Met Office is sensible enough not to try.

Swansea area 12 hours ahead.

And you are in a populous area David. Try finding an
accurate forecast for mid-Wales any where.

Met office are strange, we have 3 forecast areas within 5 miles of us.
then going East nothing for around 30 miles

It's always more difficult in hilly areas because the weather travels up the valleys. Kent weather forecasts were depressingly spot-on, not just because it's in the SE, but also because there aren't any significant land forms to divert the weather. If it said it was going to rain all day, that's exactly what it did.

Is there a met office mountain area forecast that covers your area? Is it any good? I find the met office Yorkshire Dales mountain area forecast is pretty good. My only irritation is that it doesn't switch from "today" to "tomorrow" until about sunset, which means you often have to leave decisions quite late.

A card-carrying meteorologist once told me that beyond 3 days, my guess was
as good as his.
We here in the U.S. have the "Old Farmer's Almanack," which forecasts by
the Nostradamus method.
