weather both on the online chart and the broadcast were showing pretty

only
12 hours in advance then their modelling has serious problems IMO.


As I said, theirs wasn't the only model to get it wrong. Also, the
forecaster on in the early morning TV made sure to play down the event.

Several days before the event, the bulk of the rain was forecast to
reach the London area for Friday, but the models kept backtracking each run.


Well they're predicted rain in the SE for tuesday. Lets see if it materialises
or its just another false alarm like the last 2 times they've predicted it
in the last month.
