has the Met office lost the plot?

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. What's the point of a weather forecast if it doesn't tell me what I want to know? With multi-channel TV you can get any forecast you want. Changing channels and watching a second forecast within 5 minutes of the first often gives a completely different picture of the weather, with the forecaster with the biggest boobs being the most accurate. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |
