What about Strathallan just to the south of Perth?

I think that part of Scotland does rather well for SYNOP stations when
compared to areas such as South Yorkshire (population alone 1.34 million)
and Derbyshire and north Nottinghamshire where there are no reporting
stations at all, and its been like that since RAF Finningley closed many
years ago.

I know what you mean about representative stations, here in the SW of
England we always get lumped in with Plymouth most of the time as
representative for the whole peninsula which is often not the case.

Even worse when places on Dartmoor get lumped in with Plymouth Mountbatten.
You couldn't make it up!

Why would that be when UKMO have a forecast model with a 10 km grid?

Is there no joined-up thinking?

Postcode forecasts?

UKMO are bigging it up surely?

But Jo public,e.g. Will, Bruce et al are being taken for a ride.
