Here we go again.
Forecast max temperature underestimated again for Plymouth Mt Batten in
these conditions.
Forecast sunny all day. Correct.
Forecast max temperature 13°C. Wrong.
Actual max temperature 15.2°C.
Max temperature in my garden Stevenson screen 17.0°C.

Can't understand why UKMO model always messes up in these conditions.
Surely having forecast cloudless conditions, it is comparatively easy to
forecast max temperature?

Haytor was wrong too. Forecast max. 12C actual max. 15C.
Ernie Gold is moving in his grave right now!

It's just the same over here in Fareham, they or their models seem
unable to grasp that although Southampton Water and the Wallington
River (into Fareham) are tidal, we are not on the beach! So yet
another day was forecast at least 2 deg C too low - par for the course
over the last week on every day when we get at least sunny intervals.

I just adjust upwards these days, it's still irritating though.


They can do better that and things may improve once they get their arse in
gear and start using very high res. models in the public service site
forecasts. Simon and Bruce in the MetO are you reading this?!!! :-) I
suspect not actually as the newsfeed to usw was removed some time ago,
concentrating more now on ****ter, but that is moderated and criticism is
not allowed.
