And it wasn't a bad forecast, it's just the potential high pressure
this week has been spoilt by an extra small low crossing the area from
late Wednesday to early Friday. If that hadn't formed it'd be spot on.

So every time a forecast is wrong it's not the fault of the forecaster,
it's the fault of the weather for not conforming to the forecast.

Hmmm...some dodgy logic there.

What I was trying to say is that Dawlish was correct about the end to
the very cyclonic spell of the past two weeks around now, and that we
are moving into a spell where high pressure has more of an influence.
As so often happens though, a minor low has formed which has kept the
high further out in the Atlantic than expected. I think you've got to
give credit where credit's due.
