BBC weather forecast.

So is it going to rain on Saturday or not?

Rain then sun?

It's st, unfortunately. Metcheck or Netweather are far better IMO.

20c=19c. And it's like this for every day.

Otherwise I find them really useful.

Looks like we'll be having periods of global warming at midday followed by climate change into the evening.

Yes it is utter crap. I sat at home the other day during huge thunderstorm and it showed light cloud.

The BBC weather forecast is clearly biased and therefore not worth listening to.

I find theres too much of a bias to grey clounds over the right side of the map; whilst the left always gets sunshine!

Yep bbc forecast is totally useless, often the bbc online weather can give a completely different forecast to the bbc regional TV... and sometimes they end up both being wrong!

Any online forecast for a limited geographical area is driven by computers. Many use models that update 4 times a day, so the forecast does too.

The TV forecasts use information from the MetOffice who look at many different weather models and draw their own forecasts from them. They tend to be much more fuzzy.

At this time of year, with 'April Showers' around - it can easily be sunny on one side of a town and pouring with rain from a shower on the other side. This doesn't mean the forecast is wrong!

Indeed. My problem with the bbc/met one is that it's so dumbed-down as to be basically useless.
