Metcheck Timed out just now - was after temperature forecast. BBC has
been a bit more realistic on minima of late, anyway.

Met Office also timing out.

Ceefax may not go far enough ahead.

Not the 'net itself, because Google and FT articles load fast.

I imagine it's simply a case of the Metcheck and MO servers being unable
to cope with the number of people trying to access them. The more
"interesting" the weather, the more likely that is to happen.
