I do apologise if this has been mentioned before but I am starting to get
very frustrated by weather forecasts on the BBC saying " temperatures will
be about average for the time of year "

1 This assumes that I have a table of averages to hand
2 This assumes I am a meteorologist with a good knowledge of regional
averages
3 This assumes I am a meteorologist with a bad memory but a list of tables
to hand
4 Assumes I am too stupid to understand a scientific scale of any sort
5 Assumes I am too stupid to care

Agree to a certain extent but then I've always thought temperature is
overplayed and pretty academic anyway. More useful would be something like
the Realfeel index used by Accuweather in the USA
