Very strange.

Using Newcastle as an example, Monday is going to be 27deg C according to
the BBC, yet the MO are offering 17deg C. Also according to TWO tomorrow
will reach 35deg C here.

I take it that they are going off different models? Or are they just not
putting the effort in to it ATM?

JO

Hmm, don't know about 35C for Jersey, but Channel coast and SE will
definately get some very hot weather.

GFSENS T+132 shifts the 20C iso-t at 850mbar pretty close to Jersey,
but the sea should have some cooling effect.

However, pretty impressive A-Hi building up with good to moderate
confidence - even a bit uncanny - IF the models stick up with it over
the next few runs.

Summer really seems to put all eggs in one basket. Interesting....

Whatever they use to generate their 5 day forecast seems to go awry from
time to time - probably another glitch, then.

Coincidentally there's an article in the current issue of weather
analysing how accurate 5-day temperature forecasts are for Jersey. They
looked at four sources of forecasts, and the three produced other than
by the Met Office's own people on Jersey were pretty poor.

Apologies to anyone who was confused. That should have read "... the
current issue of 'Weather'..."

Thats odd theres seems to be TWO for Jersey. One showing more realistic
temperature figures and the other, Jersey, United Kingdom obviously too
stupid for words.

Well after a further update, they numbers still look
daft - I'll believe it when I see the 'actual' numbers
reported .The Jersey United Kingdom version
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=7&links
is the same as BBC text P406 on the tele' as are others on
the web = to BBC P406 - that reminds me, a few years ago,
erroneous numbers appearing on BBC text page and a friend
contacted the BBC about it - the outcome was, these F/Casts
are system genrated - no human intervention/verification. The
problem was that in a system look-up table, the pointers were
pointing to the wrong place, thus giving 'mickey mouse' F/Cast .
Still showing 38c for Tuesday after the update .

cheers JRM
