news ![]() Thanks for all the replies I've recieved. Sadly I can't afford t he £56 option - but the other one from the Met Office is def better than the BBC one. I remember seeing the sferics on top of the rainfall radar display when I was at the Met Office - which meant that you could see where the rain was turning thundery. I had a great time at work experience there - learnt an awful lot - and I can really see myself doing what they do! Possible career plan there! lol. I was especially impressed with their computer systems - the program Nimbus was so powerful - even though it sometimes misbehaved. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Birmingham Met Office, Robin. There's work experience opportunities in the Operations Centre at Exeter if you're really keen and fancy visiting a part of the world with virtually no weather. As for Nimbus it's good, but Horace is better :-) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/systems/horace/index.html Jon. |

I was especially impressed with their computer systems - the program Nimbus was so powerful - even though it sometimes misbehaved. The responsibility I was given was nice as well - I was allowed to make up the forecast sheets for the BBC Midlands Today forecasters by my self - as long as they were checked before they were sent out! I spose this is a good time to introduce myself. I seem to have been looki estershire. I'm doing A Levels at the moment - hoping to go to uni and do a degree in Geog. After that, who knows, maybe some meteorology and then a career in the Met Office...you never know! I don't have a proper weather station at home (sadly I can't afford it). But I can (and will - assuming I have the time) post visual Weather Reports. It will be interesting to compare my reports to the chap from Worcesters - and see how they match!

Theirs is very detailed - and the only one I can find online so far is the BBCs tiny little one - which could not be described as detailed at all! lol Are there are any rainfall radar images available online? If so, where? and how often are they updated? Thanks, Robin |
