A poor forecast from the Met Office today. I was expecting a thoroughly wet afternoon here in the SW, but the BBC forecast both at Breakfast time and at 1.25pm seem to have overdone the rain not just here in the SW but also Wales judging by the latest Weather radar. I reckon I could have got the washing dry now instead of using the tumbler.


Was expecting quite a bit of rain here in Milton Keynes too, but had nothing much yesterday, and still nothing today.

As an aside, I see the MO have changed their colour scale for the temperature forecast. I don't like it! Having the extrema at +36 and -30 degrees means everything ends up looking pretty much one bland colour! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...ime=1455926400

Wouldn't -30 to +40 have been better given that the highest temperature
recorded in the UK is above 36C?
