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

There's time for more than we get. In any case, even if this is so - why
cannot one of the channels (preferably a terrestrial one, but BBC4 or News
24 would be better than nothing) show a five-minute detailed weather - a
bit like the way Weatherview used to be - every night? I simply fail to
believe that too few people would be interested to justify a slot
*anywhere*!

There is also BBC interactive 24 hour weather 'channel' which could offer so
much, yet it is simply updated helicopter rides around the UK giving out the
most basic information. Not even a European forecast. Sky active is the best
we get on TV where there has recently been a return to the interesting
worldwide weather slot.

Let's not forget just how hopeless the other UK national terrestrial
channels are in this respect. The most informative forecasters are - like
the BBC - those doing the regional programmes.
