Woke early on Saturday morning and switched on News 24..
Launching the "New Look" aspect, there was a fleeting 3 second glimpse
of a pressure chart....
and that was it...it wasn't shown on any subsequent forecasts.
So much for the new look.... maybe I just have to get up at 6:45am to
see a pressure chart on the Beeb... or perhaps just watch Sky or ITV
at any time..


Helen Young actually showed an Atlantic synoptic chart for about 1.5 seconds
on this morning's Breakfast with Frost and promptly said there were no
"weather fronts" that would bother us today. Was she perhaps aware that
Frost's audience are not as dim as she percieves her average viewer to be?
Maybe not because she stood there waffling for ages with the banner "Less
windy" behind her.


I spotted isobars on "Landward" also. There were even fronts on the
charts, although they were very small, as if apologising for being
there.
