I know I've seen a site online before where I was able to see what the weather was going to be a few months ahead of time. Well, I need to use one again and I can't find it! This one that I used last time told me if there was rain predicted for the specific day I was looking at. Anyone know of this type of site? Where??? I can't find it!

Check out the below listed web site. It's called Underground Weather. You can spend the entire day here as it has just about everything there is to do with weather. You can even email them and ask if they can provide you with an answer to your question. What you won't find at this site is a 30 - 90 day forecast as it doesn't exist. As the above writer said there's not a man or machine that can predict the weather accurately more than 7 to 10 days out. If you find a site that purports to forecast the distant future also ask them for the winning power ball number.

Predicting the weather is incredibly complicated because there's so many different things happening. At best, an accurate forecast can only be made a few days in advance.
Long range forecasts are based on average conditions obtained from weather data collected over the years. It's possible for example to say that in February New York will receive about 3.15 inches (80mm) of rain and that the temperatures are likely to be between 28 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 and +5 Celsius) but these are only averages.
It's impossible to predict with any accuracy what the weather will be like on any specific date in the future. A site that gives weather for future dates would either be sheer guesswork or would be based on historical averages.
If you go to weather.com http://www.weather.com/ you can get weather information for thousands of location around the world - type in a zip code or city, when the results are displayed click the 'averages' button - this will tell you the average conditions throughout the year and give you some idea of what to expect.

The Farmer's Almanac is the best for using the trends of the weather from the past to predict the weather in the future. I am sure they have a related website. That said, no man or machine can predict the weather much more than about 10-12 days in the future.

My first comment is that I don't really believe you are asking a question, but making a statement. YA is intended for actual questions. Otherwise I think you're making a good point, that most people seem not to understand. I think they also don't understand how much weather forecasts have improved in the last 20 years. EDIT: One answerer said: "Because according to the AGW crowd, you don't need to know all of the boundary conditions. You just need to know that CO2 is driving the warming and thus your models are perfect. Or at least that is what I seem to see the consensus as doing. "If you disagree with the AGW crowd then you are an outcast." I don't understand how people that don't believe in AGW expect to convince other people of their beliefs by lying. No one has EVER claimed that the models are perfect, or that boundary conditions are not needed. Perhaps it is only the liars that become outcasts.

Have you tried the Bureau of Meteorology? Perhaps that might help :)
