The UK is not a small country. London is closer to Geneva than it is to

have no conception
of the geography of this part of the UK and only rarely have any knowledge
of current weather
conditions - accurate forecasts are hardly ever given. Much more accurate
forecasts for this
area are given by the Norwegian Met. Office.

And the Met Office accuracy is even worse up the road from you, on the
north coast.
