it depends more on how long range they are than anything else. I tend to believe forecasts for the next 24 hours. That's simple enough, I could do it myself. I'm a bit skeptical from 24 hours to 72 hours, and don't have any faith beyond 72 hours.

I take the forecasts as a rough guide.

Yes, most of the time. Michael Fish made his one big mistake! lol

No. In my experience they've been wrong too many times. Weather, to me, is a boring subject.

This is kind of a loaded question. I consult an Internet site for weather predictions quite regularly (nearly every day). I know from experience that they are usually pretty accurate. That doesn't mean that I believe they are 100% accurate. If I thought they were never accurate, I wouldn't consult them. (I picked "Yes".)

It depends on the source and my personal opinion, and what the weather forecast is.

Not really, because here weather changes really quickly.
*confetti yawns like a kitty* Why the hell do I feel so tired? I slept eight hours, for cryin' out load.

It depends on the source. We hae three local weathercasts (ABC, NBC, & CBS) and the one on KEZI channel 9 (ABC) is by far the most accurate. I also prefer John Fischer, the meterologist at KEZI, as he gives the viewers garden tips and such and is far more entertaining than the others. The others are a bore to watch.

Yes. I check the weather channel.

the forecast for Melbourne lately seems to be "sunny periods, scattered cloud, a change later with rain, and a chance of thunderstorms". It pretty much covers every possibility so I do believe it!

Always with skepticism.

I believe the short range ones, like up to 2 days ahead. One time they were 30 degrees off and half a sky off (said it would be partly cloudy, it was very cloudy)
