For my hill walking exploits I use the Met Office Mountain forecasts and Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) forecasts. When there is a difference between the two, the MWIS forecast will invariably prove to be spot on. The Met Office frequently get it utterly wrong. They do an early morning update of their forecasts at around 2am and often make dramatic changes, but it doesn't make them any more accurate. 50 years ago, we used to ring the Met Office (at Dyce), speak to the duty forecaster, and get the weekend's forecast from the horse's mouth. It was usually pretty accurate. How things have changed!By the way, the BBC general forecasts, supplied by Meteogroup, usually give a fairly accurate guide to what the weather in the hills might be like.
