I've not been directly involved in the BBC project but I can assure you it is not a GFS jamboree. We have been major users of EC (and MO) data for decades and that will be evident in the new forecasts.


Judging by what I've seen on social media from the Met Office in response to punters, they're taking in a particularly petty way that looks bloody awful:

David Langfield @Davimage
Can you explain why their forecast for my area completely differs from yours? (Yours was the more accurate, by the way)

Met Office @metoffice Replying to @Davimage
Hi, the information in our forecasts is from our world leading Numerical Weather Prediction model, trusted by experts across the world & used by over 50 research centres. We can’t comment on the BBC forecast; you’ll need to ask them about it. ^Louise

Since you address me by name (I assume you mean me) I'll reply - but I'd like to know your name, woldsweather.

For a start, the graphics are nothing to do with me, personally. Therefore I don't mind what people think of them - but I will correct a factual misunderstanding. I'd have thought it pretty obvious that the white swirly looking stuff was cloud and the green was land - imagine you are looking down on the Earth. Quite a simple idea really.

I think you'll find you're addressing a professional (pos ex) meteorologist https://twitter.com/woldsweather?lang=en who is very knowledgeable, so there's no need to be quite so patronising. In fact being patronising is bad irrespective of persons knowledge.

I also find the cloud hard to distinguish on the new graphics.

I like Julian, cannot understand why people post under some false name.
It beats me.
What do they have to hide?
