Nintendo have just pushed out an update for their Wii games console
which adds a "weather channel", providing current weather and forecasts for your city. I don't know where they're getting their data, but it's not even close to even being a sensible forecast. Even the "current weather", while accurate, is only accurate to three hours ago. There's some photos and extra ranty goodness on my blog: http://www.davidglover.org/2006/12/wii-weather.html |

Perhaps they're getting the data from the Daily Express. There's some photos and extra ranty goodness on my blog: http://www.davidglover.org/2006/12/wii-weather.html |

Don't dress according to what you see on the Wii weather channel!! Let's hope the news channel is more current when they get that up and running. |
