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?


Here was my forecast issued last thursday:

" Very high confidence that most of Britain will continue to be very warm or
even hot next week. Temperature levels in the south could possibly reach 28-32
deg C for a time. Generally in the range 25-30 deg C in the south...


Hehe, I wasn't thinking of YOUR forecasts Will, not even medium range
forecasts in general (and yours are better than most). I meant the
short to medium range automated website forecasts and the way too
short 'bimbo forecasts' lacking detail, that may have led to the
perceived error reported by the original poster (when in fact there
was no error in the "proper" BBC TV weather forecasts).

Cheers,
