I use the Weatheronline Expert Charts. Do any other sites post updates earlier? It's 4pm & they still have the 6am run. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=gfs&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=-&VAR=prec&HH=0&ARCHIV=0&ZOOM=0&PERIOD=&WMO=

Do all the sites get it at the same time? I am trying to guess when the rain will reach Galway tomorrow.

They start at roughly the same time but some websites release the charts slightly quicker than others. These are rough guides for the release time of the main three models.

GFS

00Z 0430

06Z 1030

12Z 1630

18Z 2230

ECM

00Z 0700

12Z 1900

UKMO

I forgot about that, I think it's for GMT so the times should be slightly different for BST, around an hour later.
