My son has just phoned me regarding the BBC site forecast for
Kingston, Jamaica. As we all know a vicious hurricane is heading
there right now, yet for tomorrow the BBC site indicates
thunderstorms with a moderate 12mph
south wind.


The URL would have helped make more sense of that:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0298


I have given up on official forecasts. No synoptic charts and five
foot temps.

I have used Jacks site for a few years, and am now the unofficial
forecaster down the pub.

BTW, just back from Brum. Checked the radar on the way out and took a
brollie.........there were a lot of wet people in town.


I've emailed 5Live to see what they say (they have been reporting extensively about evacuations of Brits) but I'm not holding my breath!!
