Absolutely bloody hopeless. I watched that giggling Driftwood on BBC
this morning just before leaving for work and there gurgling and
cooing is that Carol Driftwood with a forecast for rain for the SE
tonightand of course Carol gets s it straight from the UKMO horses
mouth. I Get to work check UKMO yes it's showing rian for tonight
over the SE albeit very patchy. If you look at UKMO now you will see
on the forecast page oj the weather tab a dry night is expected with
some showers by 1pm Saturday. Now on that same forecast page check the
rainfall tab and you will see rain forecast from iam Saturday!!

The BBC forecasts seem to be particularly crap. I wouldn't mind if they
were even consistent amongst themselves but they can't even manage that.
Yesterday the local forecast on BBC 1 London after the news predicted rain
for today, then cut to the national forecast and the bloke is talking about
a dry day in the south. Wtf??

And where are these showers they've been talking about for a week now? I
haven't seen a single one!

change.
Theres even a mention of the deadliest tornadoes in the USA since the
thirties all down to AGW of course, Fantaist , incisive informative
articles on future global climate and the twits can't forecast rain
tonight or get their pulpit style AGW website forcasts to sing fromthe
same hymn sheet. I really don't know hou you lot put up with it.

Well , theres a bit of a difference between predicting a kettle will boil
if you switch it on and predicting what sort of shapes the steam from the
spout will form.
