BBC 5 day forecast for London (as at Sunday evening)

Mon + 4, 0 cloudy
Tue + 5, 0 sunny intervals
Wed +4, 0 cloudy, light rain
Thu +5, +2, sunny
Fri + 8, +3 cloud

Yet text forecast for Tuesday is "Very cold with some snow likely"

Do these people ever talk to each other?

Anyway, I can guarantee no significant snow will fall in London,
as we
just
bought a sledge in anticipation ;-(

David,

As has been discussed here several times and verified by Martin
Rowley,
the output on the BBC site is spurious, ignore it.


.... just had a quick look at the CEEFAX output (don't normally bother):
you certainly wouldn't get the impression of a major 'cold snap' with
high risk of snow for some places from that output (I couldn't find the
word 'snow' at a quick run-through on P406, but I may have missed one).
But as indicated above, quite frankly, unless you are looking at some
overseas holiday destination for an idea of temperature trend etc., I
wouldn't use this sort of output to plan anything critical.

Martin.
