As an extra: the MetO have not picking up on this in their 6-15 day

It shows how quickly the models can change. Why the MetO
doesn't update this more frequently has always been a mystery to
me.


Presumably they don't see any need to update a forecast of something
that's at least 6 days away any more frequently than once a day. The
longer the range of a forecast, the less frequently it needs to be
updated, but of course it's open to debate where the line should be
drawn.
