Default Accuracy/consistency of MetO forecasts ?

I'm trying to understand why the Met Office forecasts are so
consistently wrong, and keeps changing from hour to hour sometimes !?

Last weekend - Easter - there were constantly changing forecasts for
Leeming from rain to not and back again... in the end there was no
rain to speak of - though there were storms over the Moors...

This seems to have been happening for nearly a year now, and it's very
irritating
It's not just MetO but most of the other sources too... Metcheck/BBC/
Wunderground etc...

I know it's not an exact science, but it use to be a lot more accurate
and consistent in its accuracy...

Anyone willing to try to give a bit of a layman's terms explanation ?

Nick
