Graphics again showing a widespread area of rain and showers moving through
home counties. Much more patchy looking on the radar with the usual fading
out looking possible. Presenter spoke as if it had been a poor day in the
S.E. It was breezy here with some cloud but temperature almost made 25C as
it has every day this month. Last measurable rain here was 2mm, twenty days
ago, on the 11th.

Dont bother watching the forecasts on tv anymore , they spend more on
uprated graphics and stupid panning and less of the correct forecasts.

They are crap , fire the bloody lot of em!

I wouldn't say that. It's just occasionally when they are wildly out they
don't give any reason and generally imply that it was right. In actual fact
the forecast for last night turned out to be good with my first measurable
rain, 2mm, for 20 days.

A display of current or near real time radar would be more useful than the
messy graphics much of the time. Also any satellite photos are not timed and
simply say "earlier". So much has been ranted on about the BBC displays but
we may as well keep going...

BBC weather is dying a painful death.

The best weather coverage I have ever seen was in Minneapolis. A cable
channel with no inane banter - in fact, no voice at all. All it had was
a continuous loop of:-

1. Local Radar
2. Local weather reports/temperatures/dew points/pressure
3. 24hr Forecast barometric chart with some overlayed percentages.
4. 48hr "
6. A 5 day sequence of Day/Night pictoral representations of forecast
conditions - presumably for the benefit of the few viewers who couldn't
follow barometric and observation charts.
7. Icing conditions (this was in winter)

Fantastic what you can do with modern technology?

Erm... no. This was 21 years ago. The BBC really need to try and catch
up with that first...
