Just had a look at the latest 5 day forecast for Exeter on the UK Met Office web
site
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...ncornwall.html

and it says Sunday - showers
Monday - Sunny intervals
Tuesday - Sunny

No sign of any wet weather there.
In fact only mention of rain was for Sunday day and night.

Well there you are, the very latest official web site forecast.





Hmmmm...

the current 5 day forecast (9/8/04) for Oxford on the BBC web site:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2935

says dry, with sunny periods for today (Monday).

It has rained, more or less all morning, sometimes heavily, and is raining
again now (16.00Z).



The UKMO, however, has rain, cloud, thunder and sunny periods. No thunder and
no sun (so far).


They both agree that tomorrow (Tuesday) will be cloudless sunshine:-)



Which is a shame, because it hosed down this morning (Tuesday) :-(



Cheers,

keith
