Default BBC weather

I know, same old complaint again...

Checking this morning to see how wet I'm going to get this morning, first look at the 5 day forecast:


Ok, not looking good.

So lets check the 24 hour:


OOooh, that's much better, I'm going to be dry and sunbathing all day!

Hmmm, better double check with the radar:


That's not dry and sunny! That's the Poseidon Adventure that is!

So which is right? The 24 hour forecast or the radar? To make things worse, thats the beeb website, the beeb news this morning is showing a completely different forecast again!

Meh, Cheltenham is getting officially twinned with Atlantis - I'll go with the shipping forecast

I assume they put a bet on every horse in a race too.

I've stopped using that part and just use the satellite photos as I like there layout and then work out the weather myself. Also tend to use the met office more.

Their forecasts never match up, its all a load of twaddle. Best thing is to get a radar of the latest situation and guess yourself

I've usually found www.metcheck.com to be more reliable.

BBC, USELESS weather website.

Put in my postcode, it tells me its raining. I look outside, and its blue skies and white fluffy clouds...

Then the next day, its raining outside... According to BBC, it should be sunny and blue skies...

This is the norm....
