We are going to West Sussex today. Not unnaturally Mrs G has asked me what the weather forecast is. Not unnaturally I have just checked the met office forecast which states as follows for south east England

“Today:
A bright, breezy but mainly dry morning with bright or sunny spells and isolated coastal showers. Some scattered showers developing inland from the west through the afternoon, but winds slowly easing through the day. Maximum temperature 24 °C.”

Sounds reasonably pleasant.

However the local Sussex forecast then states

“Heavy rain changing to thunder showers by early evening.”

I do of course appreciate that the general Southeast forecast cannot capture local detail but this is entirely confusing and unhelpful (which unfortunately will cut no ice with Mrs G)

Not impressive
