I agree, that is why I opened this thread.

They do, but I live in a city near an airport, which means they have a 
quite accurate and frequently updated forecast. However the granularity 
for AccuWeather is a bit higher, they offer many smaller cities on the 
continent as well, where the BBC only does major cities.
