I use Midland weather radios for the alert features (EAS All Hazards) not weather reporting. I keep 1 in the bedroom, living room, office, shop and stable office. Also have portables, there are more to a weather radio than just for weather alerts. It alerts to forest fires, earthquakes, law enforcement emergency, nuclear emergency, 911 down etc...Their are over 85 EAS codes that can be used for any given area.
 
Normally I just look outside to see the weather, but knowing what is expected in the next few days is important too. Since I spend every day outside it's especially important during winter to know when a major snow storm is expected. It's common for us to get anywhere from a few inches of snow to several feet in a single storm, usually with high winds.
I have a weather station mounted on a pole with a wireless monitor in the house that gives pretty accurate weather forecasts. Plus I have weather alerts on my phone that are helpful when I'm in cell range.
Eventually I'd like to get a good weather radio too.
 
What Mav said. They're pretty accurate when they post winter storm warnings for the mountains here. At my location and elevation we're normally 10-20 degrees colder than forecast and snowfall is generally more. Summer storms can be very spotty and scattered here in the mountains and hard to forecast.
 
British weather forecasters have improved and are usually right, sometimes they get it wrong.
my weather generally comes in off the Atlantic, out of the West and goes North and East, because the South West sticks out into the sea and is a fairly narrow piece of land-especially Cornwall, sometimes it misses us altogether and goes via Wales instead.
