Well it would be great for last minute holidays... imagine being able
to plan a trip to places like Snowdonia or the Highlands in the
knowledge that it was going to be fine.

Imagine the crush of people and the traffic chaos if it was known
the weather was definately going to be good. Plus accomodation
prices would go up too.....

Personally I think forecasts are getting too accurate! Trouble is
people are already planning their week end away based on a belief in
the forecast. If they were 100% accurate virtually everyone would want
to go away for the same really sunny weekends, typically around 4 a
year! Apart from already mentioned total chaos on the roads, and the
problem of obtaining incredibly good value acommodation (
http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/ ) it would be completely
impossible to park within 10 miles of your destination. When/if you
got where you want to be the pasties would have sold out and there
would be the most incredible queue at the bar, the stench of sun block
would be more vomit inducing than normal etc. .

You would miss the joys of trying to spot the good weather others
might miss, (like yesterday) having things largely to yourself on a
beautiful day because the forecast was rain, or thinking the surf
might be good having to sit above the beach with a pint instead
because it was flat.

I rather like the unpredictability of it all.
