Default BBC - I found a synoptic chart!

I thought it was too good to be true... -I found a synoptic chart still in
existence on the BBC weather website, however closer inspection revealed
that something was very wrong...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast/pressure/

Look carefully at the fronts -they overlap and cross (see Tuesday over the
Atlantic and Thursday over the UK)

I'm not quite sure how they managed that....

Just had a look at your link (I assume it is to the "Atlantic Pressure
Charts") and I see no fronts, nor signs of any precipitation, for any day of
the week. Perhaps the BBC have responded to feedback, or are rather
embarrassed by this blunder, and removed them.

Regards, Roger


The time is quoted as 12:00 pm, but isn't that ambiguous? Surely they
should quote 12:00 hrs or midday if they mean noon, and 00:00 hrs
or midnight if they mean that?

Cheers, Alastair.
