Default Totally Wrong Forecast London

Damn Them, They cant get it right even within a 24 hour period. Wrong today
for London and the South East

Today
Early cloud will disperse to allow sunny spells and it will become very warm
again. A few isolated heavy afternoon showers may develop in the west.
Actual ends up as:
Dull and cloudy, cloud not dispersing, not warm [15.7C at 12.30pm] plus the
wonderful idea of the the so called 'isolated shower' forecast in the
afternoon possibly being the only saving grace of the expected picture
today.
Then this evening
Tonight:
Soon becoming generally cloudy, with outbreaks of rain spreading from the
south across the region, some of it heavy and thundery.
Eh? Soon becoming generally cloudy but its been cloudy all day! they don't
know their A from their elbow.
bloody joke


Not at all bad for Blackheath, though. Cloudy in the morning and quite
cool and windy, sharp shower at midday, then clearing to blue skies and
warm sunshine by early afternoon.

But I've noticed quite a difference between east and west London in the
last couple of days or so. Must be tricky to forecast at such a
microlevel.
