It could spell big job cuts and the beginning of the end of public forecasting.
If they keep using Met Office model data we might not notice much difference.

Won't it be "interesting" if they give the job to Piers Corbyn ;-)

BBC weather forecasts have reached the stage where they are far more
concerned with showing off the whizzy features of their irritating
virtual Britain display than informing people about the weather.

Piers runs out of a basement in an old building in Southwark Bridge Road, he has a photo copier and old CRT screed ancient pc and a small meeting room and I doubt he can afford that!
