Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I have a gripe about Meteo (they supply the BBC's weather forecasting). On the Humber estuary, at least, it's hopelessly optimistic.

Yesterday's Meteo forecast - sunny all day 21°C

Met office forecast - cloudy all day 18° C


Met office spot on, Meteo wildly out. It was worse for Friday; Meteo forecast sunny intervals - reality occasional drizzle. Met office were closer saying cloudy all day.
Meteo is American and I think their inherent optimism affects their forecasting. I watched the live forecast on the Beeb news channel and they were saying I was in sunshine all afternoon - looking out the window said otherwise. Maybe they need a new pine cone and piece of seaweed?
