I'm generally in agreement with most of what's been written in this
thread but things may not be all bad. I like this bit, from a Met
Office spokesman:

He said: "High temperatures for most are a good thing, but for
farmers, for example, who need rain they may not be.

"So forecasters should just give the temperatures, and say if they are
above or below the yearly average, and let the public decide if they
are good or bad."

That will be, will it not, a change for the better?

Indeed it will Dave.

I have campaigned for years that value judgements should be removed from *all*
forecasts.

Well at least you are honest in admitting that no one at HQ takes any
notice of your campaigning ;-)
