Hi Danny,

I wouldn't say "crap" there is actually a lot of good stuff on the sites, eg.
the climatological infomation and research pages.

But as far as getting forecast information across my *personal* opinion is that
they are poor. Also the "look and feel" of the top page doesn't seem right. The
MetO one in particular is very commercial in its attitude and it doesn't gel
well with a PUBLIC SERVICE provider. It may change, we shall see. It also wasn't
designed by meteorologists but by outside consultants. I *personally* think that
was a big mistake.

Will.

I know you won't agree, Will, but you woudn't see this in America. In my
opinion of course.
That BBC weather website, and the METO one .. hmm , all looks very 'British'
to me.... e.g 'crap'
Peace, Danny.

I thought the bit about lengthy training in meteorology was missing but
I see that such is no longer required:
