No mention whatsoever of any wind. No graphics, no words, nothing.

How on earth can anyone take a decision on our behalf that the wind is not
important ?
Mr BBC *WIND IS IMPORTANT* believe me.
They have wind on ITV, I'm told they have wind on SKY so what makes the BBC
special ?


They had wind on BBC1 Wales this evening but just the graphics and, as I
think you have said elsewhere, those moving paper darts don't really
give an idea of the speed of the wind. Even if they put the wind on the
national forecast, how much value would it be? A blank screen may be better.
