Default Totally Wrong Forecast London

Damn Them, They cant get it right even within a 24 hour period. Wrong today

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.


Not wrong for all of the south-east. That's pretty much what we've had
in my part of Surrey, except that there were no showers. It's always
hard when this sort of grunge spreads inland from the North Sea to
forecast just how soon, and how far eastwards, the cloud will be burn
off by the sun.
