Default Driving me to distraction

I know this has been raised before but it is driving me to distraction. I am referring to the discrepancies between the met office regional text forecasts and the local graphical forecasts. I can understand small differences but half the time they are so completely different as to make the site useless. This has been a running sore for as long as I can remember. It is particularly absurd for south east England which has little local variation and so even less excuse for such grotesquely large discrepancies. Infuriating.. Just to take a small example, I am trying to plan which day to work on our allotment. Text forecast for Saturday “mainly sunny”. Graphical forecast for Hampstead cloud icons all day and not a single sun icon.. Hopeless.
