Up to date weather forecast please

I have been looking on line at the weather forecast for the next 2 weeks and I must say I am more than a little disappointed.

The forecast for the next few days looks lovely, warm and mostly sunshine. For the following 7 days, cloud, rain, heavy rain, thunderstorms. The day before we go home sun again.

Those out there what are your views? I have repacked our cases with warmer clothes, instead of all the lovely summery one I have bought.

May is often unpredictable in Corfu and this May isn't one of the best, however, we have had 5 good days out of 7 so it isn't that bad.

This trend of mixed but mostly good weather is expected to continue over the next two weeks although temperatures should not be as low as they were last weekend when they were 5c below normal.

Be very suspect of any online weather forecast beyond 8 days as it is impossible to know what the weather will be like beyond that time. In my experience the best online forecast is weather online, just type in weatheronline corfu' into Google and it will pop up, it goes out to 8 days and is the most reliable in my experience. The others are rubbish.

I use Accuweather: http://www.accuweather.com/en/gr/aghios-stefanos/2283443/weather-forecast/2283443 

and a sailing forecast: http://poseidon.hcmr.gr/weather_forecast.php?area_id=gr

Accuweather predicts further out, but as Andy says, anything beyond the next few days is largely guesswork.  I like to use the ones that show that the sun's going to shine!

Those are the ones that I prefer too.

Thank you for your replies. Getting really excited now and only a few hours left to work.

It's not possible to predict too far into the future. More than four days is dodgy.  Most of these sites use historic averages for long-range forecasts.

  Yep,can be missleading...Also being on the coast makes a difference.Been in corfu town in bad storms,and when returned to S S they have not had a drop of rain..
