Default Irritating weather forecasts...

My two biggest pet peeves are :

1. No pressure maps.


Who understands pressure maps?!

2. Describing weather as 'cold' when it is in fact at or above average.


Case in point: The Met Office website had a summary for Sunday
yesterday, describing temperatures in the SE to be "very cold" (i.e.
more than 5degC below average), yet the map on the same page showed
temperatures around 7°C which is about average for February.
