... well, if he did say that, then it's an oversight: there are plenty
of METAR & SYNOP reporting stations showing that it is still pretty
windy across the northern-half of the UK, and there is currently a
particularly anomalous 'squeeze' across the northern Pennines as the
upper ridge drifts in from the west.

Pity - I thought (having not seen Countryfile forecast in months) it was a
very well-given forecast, despite the fact that as Rob ages he appears to
be morphing (facially and sartorially) into Prince Charles.

Also suggests that although we've got a cold northerly it'll be nothing
special at low ground in the south. Move along, nothing to see here !


I don't watch TV forecasts anymore, but I'd be interested to know what
confidence figure Rob attached to the forecast?

As for gaps, there is only one regularly reporting and publicly available every
10 minute site on Dartmoor - me!!!!!
Guess that's why it is well used LOL.
