I'm afraid the BBC Weather forecast are usually miles out...take this as an
example, from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/northwest/
HERE IS A WARNING OF HEAVY RAIN AFFECTING GREATER MANCHESTER, LANCASHIRE,
CHESHIRE AND MERSEYSIDE. ISSUED BY THE MET OFFICE AT 11:43 ON SATURDAY, 7
MAY 2005. FURTHER HEAVY SHOWERS, WITH EVEN HAIL, ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON
AND AT FIRST THIS EVENING LEADING TO RATHER POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS AT
TIMES. VALID UNTIL: 19:00 ON 07 MAY 2005

Now I live slap-bang in the middle of this lot and haven't seen so much as a
cloud all day, the sun has been cracking the proverbial flags all day
long....where the hell do they get their information from?

On a related note, I have found the ITV teletext 5 day forecast to be spot
on at least 90% of times, again the BBC's offering, Ceefax weather is dire.
