I've noticed that whenever I've been to the States, their weather

with over here, such as it's going to be windy, wet and warm. Presumably
the
powers that be must think that the great British public aren't intelligent
enough to be able to take in any more than basic wind speed, rainfall and
temperature figures.

Which is strange, when America is supposed to be the home of dumbing
down. If the US TV networks believe that their viewers can cope, why
does the BBC think differently?

There isn't the time to go into much detail in the two minutes or so that
the weather forecast is slotted into.
