Looking at the T+72 chart issued in the early hours of today and seeing the occluded front going apparently backwards across Scandinavia, makes me wonder how low the knowledge has to get before the MO do some decent training.

Add to that the incessant use of occluded fronts on the BBC forecast with the warm bumps and cold triangles drawn the wrong way around....I think that standards are definitely not important any more.

I wonder if these standards reflect the quality of other aspects, such as the observations and models as these new forecasters go up the chain over the past few years?
Certainly the apparent quality and accuracy of output that is given as public service forecasts has dropped significantly.

I fear for the future of MO forecasting.

I fear for the future of the electorate.

If the Met Office are showing you what the GFS is doing and it hasn't been adjusted by the flowerpots, there is something in the signal that you should be paying attention to.

I am not asking you to follow my posts but you must take the responsibility for your ignorance.
