Can I suggest that my erstwhile colleagues have a look at the Met Office
web site and the various forecasts on that site? As I type this,
youngsters are dodging the rain under umbrellas and skies are leaden:
contrast that with the various output (after many refresh button pushes
... some of which give different symbols for the same issue time). Also,
if you look at the radar, you will see quite a lot of rain crossing from
the southwest in bands - some of it heavy.

* The national map (labelled 'Daytime' weather) only shows rain
(one-spot at that) over the West Country and D/C: sunshine and cloud mix
father east, with medallions further north. (Hint - have a look at the
latest satellite pictures)

* The regional map for the southeast for 'Daytime' weather shows a mix
of full sunshine and part cloudy/part sun.

* The Bracknell 5-day forecast (remember how may people live in this
area still?), shows sunshine/cloud mix today and strong/full sunshine
for tomorrow ... despite the mention of rain or showers in the
accompanying text.

And if you think I'm being disloyal - not a bit; I am so sad that after
*years* of my complaining, nothing whatsoever has been done about this
....... by your efforts will you be judged.

Martin.
