Will,

Yes, I thought Craig would be a hard act to follow, but David Baraine is
doing a great job. He's even carrying on the surf forecast.

Do you not have a local weather service ? Here in the SW we have David
Braine
and he is superb. It can be bucketing down here in Haytor with either dry
conditions or just drizzle lower down, but you can bet your bottom penny
that
David would have mentioned that contrast. Quite often he shows charts with
maximum temperatures some 4 deg lower over the high moors than shown on
the
national forecast (which are presumably for Exeter) and they are generally
not
far off the mark judging by my readings. Check out your local forecast if
you
can Graham.

Why does the BBC forecast keeping saying patchy light rain for the
Midlands mostly in the east for Monday 16th January.
I'm in Stoke and it hasn't stopped all day, now up to 19.6mm (18.00gmt)
and still coming down!
Does the radar not tell them how bad it is?
Considering what was forecast we have done well to record the wettest
day of the year and it's still raining!
