Oh dear, having watched this morning's forecast I assured my daughter
that it would be dry with perhaps some very light rain at the V-Festival
at Chelmsford this afternoon. The rain has apparently decided not to go

be trouble ;-(

Dave,
Should have looked at the radar, not the forecast, looked a dead cert.....

It has always disappointed me greatly that the Met Office has not used the BBC
News Channel to provide a nowcasting service. That would be much more useful
than just plugging away with the same, often rather out of date, story all the
time. Perhaps a new 2-3 day forecast, say, every 3 hours and use the other
slots for nowcasting
