Default Met O site updates

Folks,
Came here to complain a month ago that UKMO didn't beta test their web site when they updated it. Well, pretty much every problem I complained of then has now been fixed.

This is not good, of course! It was obvious to anyone who _actually used the site_ that the first rejig was a dog's dinner. Having your 'customers' test your updates is astonishingly shoddy practice. Which of course leads one to the supposition that perhaps we in the general public are not our national meteorological service's primary concern...

Yours awaiting a simple daily accumulated rainfall map,

David.

==================

Correct.
The main concern is for the paying customers.
