I see that this evening there is a much higher chance of significant
rain on Friday down here in Dorset, after this morning's radio comment
( local) of ' great uncertainty'.
I will have see what happens I guess but the evening forecast
tomorrow may suggest a retreat. The usual important outside event is
my concern whereas the garden needs the rain...

Well the latest NAE model has downgraded the rain from 23mm to 17mm for
the next 48 hours fore here. TAFs are only going for -RA, and the
forecast suggests light rain with a low risk of heavier showers in the
SE. Seems pretty borderline on anything substantial.

Interesting! Anyway, have taken a £5 bet with son-in-law after a
family gathering last night in which my youngest daughter goaded me
with a series of entirely erroneus comments about incorrect weather
forecasts.

The Met Office has some bright colours on its SW Rainfall forecast ATM.
There used to be a chart somewhere on the website of exactly what the
various colours mean in mm etc. Can't see where it is now.

The radar at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/p...nt/weathermap/
has a key. I hope it's the same scheme.

Thanks, Graham. I'd forgotten about Invent.

Well my daughter insists I provide her with forecasts for her various
mountain trips in Europe. There's no getting out of it and I get a review
afterwards. Fortunately I've done pretty well, one week they came back from
Austria and they said that my forecast of snow line and weather (given over
a week ahead) was consistently better than the local forecasts a day
ahead!!! She is a hard task master and is not averse to ringing me up from
some remote Scottish mountain and asking for a difficult forecast - like
when is the snow going to stop? :-)
