Andrew,

Sadly you missed the point of Mike Tullett's post that to forecast to a
precision of 0.1 mph for wind speed (note not 'accuracy') (those two are very
different things),is both ludicrous and mis-leading. We cannot even measure wind
speed to that accuracy, it would vary over a matter of yards by 0.1 mph and that
is notwithstanding the accuracy of models including the MetO and GFS. You do a
similar thing with temperatures - it is all meaningless I'm afraid.

BTW the GFS is a numerical model not an empirical rule-based model.
I think the word you are looking for is "objective" .

Will.
