Does anyone know why BBC 1 regional forecast on London tonight talks about
Friday being cold and gives 5C max for the SE, with wintry showers, then 5
minutes later a different presenter on the same channel gives the
temperature as being 8C max for the same area on the same day. Is this lack
of communication, lack of competence or spread betting?!

I've noticed this discrepancy also, especially when comparing say Ceefax or
BBC Interactive on digital against the presented weather forecasts.

I used to look at the 5-day forecast on "BBCi" but it is absolutely useless
and bears no resemblance to the weather as discussed in the trends in this
NG or even the BBC weather after the news.

I know the ceefax and written stuff is poor but to not correlate two
broadcasts within 5 minutes of each other is inexcusable.

I've found that the 24hr figures they give for Gloucester (just 9 miles
from here) are often *way* off what I actually record, especially at
night.
