Do forecasters get conservative at the extreme ends of weather?

It always seems to be colder than forecast in winter and today...

Forecast was 22/23 on average. It is currently 29.1 here in Ipswich -
confirmed by other stations +/- 1 deg.

How can they be 5/6/7 degrees out like this consistently?


Where do you get your forecasts from? Those that I've seen have
suggested temperatures much closer to what you're actually
experiencing.


Most have updated now - but Google for instance - still says 22 max, partly
cloudy, Current 27!


I don't know where Google get their forecasts from - probably from one
of the proliferation of independent forecasting organisations. You'd do
much better to go to the Met Office's own site.

http://www.meto.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/eastern.html

is quoting a max of 30C for East Anglia. However

http://www.meto.gov.uk/lib/includes/...y/ipswich.html

is only giving 25C as a max for Ipswich itself.
