Why on earth would you risk abuse? I'd love you to point to a single forecast where any person who has given a worthwhile assessment has in any was suffered any "abuse". You have certainly *never* received that and neither has anyone else giving a reasonable assessment of any of the approx 150 forecasts I have made. Where you could get this from is a mystery and if you can point to *one* example, I'd love to see it, as would others, I'm sure. If not, please retract that statement. That is certainly not abuse, BTW. It's a reasonable response to a pretty foul little snipe.

Your assessment of the forecast is good and much of it I would agree with Dave. 20% of the time these forecasts are not correct. By the end of today, the cooler air will have covered most of the country, with snow showers over the Scottish mountains and the high has certainly retrogressed. I'll return to it fully later in the day.

Oh dear! I don't really want to get involved in your various spats but
as is often the case you have made completely the wrong assumption
about what someone has said and then leapt to the wrong conclusion.
I wasn't talking about insults from you!
I was talking about me receiving abuse because I have said that your
"forecast" was essentially correct. If anybody says you are right they
are usually abused by Tibbs and his ilk as I have been in the past.
I don't know why I bother sometimes, (the sensible ones have advised me
not to) but like I say, I am interested in delving into the facts, not
the personality disorders of a number of people on here.
