Absolutely NOT I'm afraid. I am right on the edge of the 60% at risk area
and we got 1mm ! The rain was much further east than predicted and there was
virtually none in London and the eastern suburbs. Upminster 1mm, City
Airport - trace.

Never mind Dave, you can be the one to predict these risk areas next. Then
we can say YOU got it wrong. Trying to predict these areas 12-24 hours in
advance cannot be very easy, even given the information on offer.


Dave never said forecasting was easy, he said they were wrong. As the
MetO said there was a 60% (as opposed to a say 30%) chance of
torrential rain in Essex (25-50mm - possibly 80mm) I can quite see
Dave's point.
