Peterborough 36C for Thursday, yeah right
Even Glasgow's on 33C!

The BBC website is saying 32C for Dundee for Thursday.

What makes me laugh (even more) is the way they say at the end of each
forecast "see the BBC weather website for more information". Like
there's ever been anything sensible on it.

I find that the rainfall page is quite sensible, because as well as the
past position of echoes in two hourly steps (which makes a decent
animation), there are forecast 4 hourly frames for the next 24 hours,
which I assume come directly from the mesoscale model. You do have to
take it with a certain pinch of salt, but in some showery conditions
(sea breeze convergence) it can be uncannily accurate, and it forecast
we would have continuous rain for almost 24 hours last Monday, which we
did. Saved me a lot of wasted time, and backache, watering the garden.
