Looking at the five day forecast on UKMO website

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/ which immediatly tells me where I live in case I didn't know, but thats a side issue. No it's the way that on the same page you can have glaringly totally differennt forecasts in just 24 hours. I'm not sure whethere the below will be visible however you'll note todays left pane on page forecast for London. Which shows London being dry tonight with a minimum of 12c whilst on the very same page it shows on the right hand side it says something totally differente.g the temperature for tonight being 6c and rain spreading to the area

Today:
A cold start, with rural mist or fog patches gradually clearing. It will be a dry day generally and with some lengthy spells of sunshine once again, although thin high cloud will spread over many parts later. Maximum Temperature 16 °C.
Tonight:
A dry evening although becoming increasingly cloudy, and with cloud thickening to bring rain to much of the region by the end of the night. Minimum Temperature 6 °C.



Now is there an urban arid effect I've never heard of?

It's not good is it in fact it's rubbish. Believe me I don't spend hours scouring the MetO for something to moan about it's the first time I've visited the website in a week-all I wanted to do was see the forecast for the coming days and you get two . Now this is really hedging your bets.
