Max here today was an amazing +23.0C (Upvc internal black-slatted Stevenson

Max here was 24.5°C, probably not as remarkable as Will's 23.0 but not bad for April.
I noted during the day that the Lancashire coast had temperatures of 9-10° but no mention of this striking contrast was made in the 0030 R4 forecast. It was a chaotic and pointless broadcast, all over in less than two minutes. Either the presenters have no feel for the weather (that's certainly true of some of them) or they are not given enough time to express it. No pressure of scheduling at 0030, so no excuse. We are treated like bubbleheads.

I agree, radio forecasts need time which they don't get, and there comes a point (3 minutes I would say) when it becomes completely pointless. I bet all the forecasters that have to do the forecast at the end of the PM programming are trembling in fear to find that Eddy Mair has left just 30 seconds!

I'd say as a regular listener that the forecasters know beforehand exactly how long they've got because they finish their spiel on the dot. Today it was about 1 min 20 secs with Tomas Schaffernaker and was worse than pointless. Geographically chaotic waffle, climatological ranges (so it seems) rather than forecasts. One waited for the nitty-gritty but it didn't come.. He spent the first half-minute of his precious allowance burbling on about how nice it had been. The things I bellowed at the radio are not printable.

I could say a lot more but this is one of my rants so I'll stop there.

So its not just me who shouts at the radio and TV weather forecast which is reassuring!

I do wonder who got him his job back - the BBC or the Met Office - after incidents such as referring to the Outer Hebrides as Nowheresville, probably all to do with political correctness I suppose....
