There's an article on the Met O website comparing this December to last..
Towards the end it says:

Who is the other one?

NOAA? It's also a statement that smacks of the hubris that permeates
the MetO and it's just the kind of PR that further alienates a public
that see the forecast, experience the weather mistakes as they affect
them, personally and don't see the explanations of why it went wrong.

Excellent forecasters, working right at the edge of what is possible;
bloody awful PR.

=====================

Have you signed up for the open day in Jan? Could be a good opportunity to
feed back what you feel is good and bad!

I'm looking forward to the tour, got lots of questions to ask them
myself....

I have fed back views, in a very constructive way. One time was
concerning the severe weather warnings area of the website. I waited a
long time Over a month IIRC, for a "forecaster" to get back in touch
with me and when one eventually did (after being reminded) he said
thank you for the comments and directed me to the comments area of the
MetO site. *))

Have you details of the open day please; it does sound interesting, as
you say.
