I don't know about you, but I find it not user-friendly, at least where
forecast temperatures are concerned...

The colour gradings are so gradual it's had to tell which is which, even
from the key. What's wrong with a bigger map, and actual numbers?

Are you happy with the contrast settings on your computer monitor?
I can see fairly distinct boundaries between the different temperatures,
but then old age and failing eyesight has made me wind up the contrast and
brilliance settings to a level you'd find unacceptable :-)

*)) I'm usually quite sanguine about these things; I realise the
presenters are stuck between a rock and a hard place with trying to
please their audience and keeping weather enthusiasts happy, but;
"Let's look at the numbers", annoys the hell out of me too! That's
just contrived.
