route planning with weather - retgwte

what i need at the moment is a route planner, like GPS or AA web site route planner, which tells me what the weather forecast along the route will be when I am at each part of the journey

anyone know of something like this?

Today, or at some time in the future? Google maps can display current traffic information.

The traffic england web site will give you weather but they've recently disabled the map feature; all you get is a schematic. And having different sites for England, Scotland and Wales ! Aaaaaargh! Does my head in!

Best all round route planner IMO is the Tomtom site that has live traffic problems on it. No weather; only the results.

But will the planning system predict the HGV that jack-knifes just in front of you, or the dump of snow half an hour before you reach that point, or the road now blocked, being cleared in an hour?
