Default Met Office Observations new site still poor

I generally still use the old style site for rainfall radar, and sat

still took ages to load and the vis cloud map showed it largely clear

here whereas the old one showed extensive cloud. It is very cloudy here

at the moment. I then tried to change the location and nothing happened

and I realised it had locked up. I have a fairly fast PC running Windows

7 with 60mb broadband that is very quick for most other things. Not

impressed.

I find the Met Office site hugely frustrating at times - its almost like there is too much stuff on there, a lot of it hard to find unless you know the exact URL.
For radar I use meteox.com - just because it seems to load faster on my system
