It appears to be very specific both in terms of time and location, even over a week ahead. However, if you recheck it daily leading up to your planned flight, you will usually find that it constantly changes, and it's basically a waste of time this far in advance.
Apparently, they don't even use the supercomputer that the met office use, as they have subscribed to another service. (That was just hearsay, and I can't confirm it.)
Agree, they seem to just look out of the window and correct the forecast for the next 12 hours. Even their 'Weather Warning' feature often doesn't match their hourly forecast. They can be warning of high winds for a period within the next 48 hours but when you look at the hourly forecast there's nothing unusual to be seen.
Well now I realise why: the warnings are provided by the Met Office and the forecast by Meteo Group, one above the other, and they don't even agree
the forecast shows only light rain
