Having just looked at the UKMO site, I was surprised to see that the
6-15 day forecast was updated at 4am today rather than at 11am-
noon, which I thought was the time of day that it was normally
updated.


The time on it has now been updated again to 4pm, but as far as I can
see it's still the same old forecast, which is now looking very out of
date. Maybe they require a certain number of successive forecasts to
show a change before adopting it, but don't publicly acknowledge that?
They might fear that otherwise there would be constant flip-flops when,
as happens quite often, the models can;t make their minds up for the
roughly 8-10 day period.
