Default Nintendo Wii Weather - hilariously inaccurate

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:

Perhaps they're getting the data from the Daily Express.

I have to agree with you on that one.
The weather is NOT up to date at all or ACCURATE!!
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.
