The forecast for today was mostly dull and cloudy yet from late
morning there has been many sunny breaks - indeed when the sun has
come out it has been quite pleasant - so much so that folk at the
greengrocer's said it was "like spring". Liam Dutton, to name but one
forecaster, said there's been more sun around than he thought.
During other anticyclones the forecast has frequently been the
opposite - dull and grey when the forecast has been for sunshine.

Is there any way that forecasting cloud amounts in these synoptic set-
ups will ever improve - it seems to catch out the forecasters time and
again?
