Beebs weather talking of 8 - 10cm of rain on Friday for England and
Wales, with no sign of this developing system yet, I wonder how correct
the forecast will be ?

I noticed that the BBC have suddenly started quoting the predicted
rainfall for tomorrow in centimetres - surely "80-100mm" or "3 to 4
inches" would have more dramatic effect?

How about 100,000 microns...

A third of a foot sounds quite dramatic though
