No need to rush, it's still wrong 12 hours later.

I think Berwick was a new place on the map, compared to earlier in the
week. At least I haven't noticed it before.

As always, if they can't get the simple details correct it makes the
rest worthless.

Having thought about this a bit more I wonder if it's programming
funny. The names are an overlay on the map and weather symbols. I
suspect there is a bit of software that checks that a name fits within
the image and shifts the name left or right if it doesn't but when it
does so it doesn't shift the blob to the other end of the name. This
would explain why the d of tweed is in about the right place and if
you went right from the the name wouldn't fit.

Are the temps correct? Are the rainfall blobs in the correct place?

Well for today no. Last nights forecast gave the impression with all
the puddles and drops that it would be raining all day. We've had one
short spell of heavy rain and a bit of dampness, not the non-stop
stuff...
