Default Criticism of Carnoustie forecast by TV pundits.

Yes, it always amazes me, with all the money there is in sport and how
dependent they are on the weather, that they don't invest in "proper"
forecasts and look at the radar.


I was listening to Jonathan Agnew on TMS today, who seems to think that
he knows something about the weather as he's training to be a private
pilot, and mentions METARs from time to time. He couldn't believe that
the rain could be coming from the south given that the wind was from the
east.


I can understand that to the uninitiated that would sound
counter-intuative. The wind blows the rain in, right?
I guess most people don't even realise thst depressions
move within the atmosphere as whole entities and that
surface winds are only really the product of any particular
location's position relative to the low's centre.
