Default Why so wrong?

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?

I don't understand this, the BBC News 24 weather forecasts that I
heard yesterday evening forecast maxima in parts of Eastern England
of 29 to 30 degrees C.. which is correct. I remember thinking "Wow!".

Perhaps you (and all of us) should ignore internet website forecasts,
potted 10 second radio forecasts and any "bimbo" forecasts broadcast
on the other TV stations?
