Stay tuned. We want to know what YOU think about our brand new weather
forecast.

It starts just after 17:55 BST... I hope it's the one they tried in the
style of the shipping forecast. That was very clear...

I heard it - it was OK. What they need to do now is to
eliminate the practice of using towns to represent fairly large
areas. 20°C in Southampton? What about Andover, then, people will
ask. Why not just say Southern England, or central Southern England,
or Hampshire?
Even so, an improvement. I wonder if they read these threads.
If so, my apologies to Messrs Schafernaker and Tobyn. I'm sure
they're terribly nice people and kind to animals.

Yes, this practice of using towns irritates me, I'm thoroughly p****d
off with being told, as the camera briefly swings across SW England,
that's it's going to be 16C in Plymouth. The temperature on the
opposing coasts of Devon/Cornwall is often so different they could, at
the very least, give some idea of the variance.

As it happens, it was 16C in Penzance today - same as Plymouth
apparently.

Ha ha ha you should try living on Dartmoor! Not a hope in hell of hearing
what it is going to do. It's either someone blethering on about fog and it's
clear or someone blethering on about cloud and its foggy, or someone
blethering on about a damp start and there is an inch of snow on the ground!
