Cloud reports

I've seen people mention that they check cloud reports before going out viewing. What sites are the best for this?

I am in to the weather alot and check many forecasts regularly. I always check the forecast before i go out to observe but i find that if you asked me a good site i couldnt give you one,as they all seem to be of very bad accuracy of nightime forecasts. If they say its to be cloudy its clear and vise versa. The ones i always check are met office, bbc and weatheronline
here are the links.


www.weatheronline.co.uk/

www.bbc.co.uk/weather/

www.metoffice.com/

www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOBBIES/astronomy.asp

This is the best site I've seen for cloud forecasts. Type in your county (yes, it covers Ireland) and hey presto.... Navigate around - there's lots of info that's useful. And its free!

I back it up with the met office (UK) satellite images

Visible
www.met-office.gov.uk/satpics/latest_uk_vis.html
Infrared
www.met-office.gov.uk/satpics/latest_uk_ir.html

Met Eireann is a bit slow at times and too general. But worth a look all the same:
