Are there any websites where you can check the weather weeks in advance?

Question

I am planning my daughters birthday party for the end of April, and it's going to be outside. I don't care if it's cold, but is there a way I could find out if it will rain?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Weather is affected by too many things to be able to predict with any accuracy more than a few days in advance.

It's possible to look at what's happening elsewhere and see how weather systems are moving and developing and then make predictions based on this but these things change quickly. Sometimes in the space of a few hours things change and forecasts have to be revised.

You can look at weather trends over previous years to give an indication of what might be expected but that's all it is - an indication. You can use this site http://www.weatherbase.com/ to give you an idea.

Might be worth planning contingencies in case it rains, possibly a marquee or be prepared to move the party inside if needs be.

Answer 2

No, because weather cannot be accurately predicted that far in advance. They can get kind of close, but it's usually off by at least several days - and by that I mean if they say a front is coming through, they may say it's passing by you on X day, and then it may speed up or slow down and arrive on a different day. We are lucky to get 7 day outlooks these days instead of just 3 days - and both are subject to change at a moment's notice.

Answer 3

No, sorry. The weather changes every hour, so what they say now, could be completely different from what actually happens. You can find out a weekly forecast when it gets closer to time though.

Answer 4

It's nearly impossible to forecast that far accurately, but check the Farmer's Almanac. Those things are creepily accurate...
