Default Countryfile forecast change

But who appointed you to this judgemental position? What qualifications
do you have in tv presentation, especially as you only seem to be
judging parameters that you decide are interesting because of their
uncertainty. The whole point of forecast verification is to compare the
forecast with what actually happened. You cant do that until after the
event.

In my opinion, being honest and saying 'we do not know what is going to
happen' is the exact opposite of forecasting, and goes against
everything that I was taught in my formative years. And yet this
'forecast' gets full marks from yourself. The world had indeed gone mad.
