The 6.30 BBC 1 forecast showed the new arrows and the word strong was used,
but there was absolutely no mention of expected speeds. Is wind considered
such an unimportant element now, whereas a temp in London of 21C got a
specific mention? :-(

... I suspect that it is dawning on the BBC Weather Centre that someone
has made a mistake here;


It's brought a whole new meaning to the "The British Broadcorping
Castration" spoonerism, because for sure the weather forecast has been
castrated.
