Default Media Coverage

The British public are said to be fascinated by the weather.
If that is the case how come we don't have the media coverage like that of
the US?
Watching a local news channel in New York the presenter went in to great
detail about jet streams and radar images.
When you look at our professional websites they don't have half the tools
and images as they do. i.e. local radar, satellite etc. Even the newspapers
go into detail about it.
Is it me or do we just not care about the weather as much as we think we do?

Don't be silly! Only Americans are intelligent enough to understand
scientific stuff like that - we Brits can only follow it in small words,
and only when preceded by some wholly inappropriate adjective, for
example "Mini tornado", "Sharp Showers" or "Murky Rain".
