The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

That's a few decades ago, actually, as far as the actual patterns go.
The other problem with forecasting is that most people want to know
if THEY will be rained on - and a forecast of patchy rainfall over an
area may be right, but isn't what they regard as right.

Local farmers used to phone RAF Coltishall for a local forecast, and
they were almost always spot-on.

Then some spoilsport told them to stop providing the 'service'.

(And another one closed the airfield.)
