Syntax error line 1: my head exploded when trying to parse this sentence.

Hey Terry/Anita,

You really have to put a fair bit of guesswork into it yourself, and learn the local weather patterns. For example, every time a southerly comes up the coast I immediately think "Rain", every time a northerly is forecast it triggers the "Sunshine and lollipops" alarm.

Some sites are better than others at predicting what the weather will be like for you, afaik there isn't one site that's universally better than any other. If you do a google for "weather forecast [your local town]" then that would be a good start. I've looked at a number of sites and keep coming back to Seabreeze, it's just so convenient, and a bit more accurate than the BOM, at least in this neck of the woods (SEQld).
Just bear in mind that anything over a week away is pure, unadulterated rolling of dice.

Or you could PM Gestalt (on this site), he's done a heck of a lot of research on the weather

You could try this site.
http://www.predictweather.com/default.asp
Just looked at it, the site once had a tab that you entered the dates and place hit predict and it gave you a result.
Couldn't find it this time. But can say a few people from work tried it a while back then when organising weekends and such out a few months ahead and all said it was reasonably accurate. I.E. temp, wind,rain.
