What I miss most is the synoptic charts - I wonder if they'll even be
shown on Countryfile?

That is a very far point. I think not.

I also thought that the new graphics are very hard to see (at least
the
one I saw this morning). I don't have a huge TV screen and since with

the "3D" effect, Scotland is much smaller, I could not really see
what's
going on with the rain display: the colour choice is also strange
"greyish" rain on a "brownish" background. Almost impossible to see
where the rain was forecasted. Also, where are the isobars, the
high/low
pressure positions, the wind directions??? It looks like we have less

information than before...

I doubt whether the new weather graphics comply with disability
legislation. On my 13 year old TV the graphics are hard to see.

Here is a link to some legislation:
http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1995/1995050.htm

e.g. look at sections 19,20,21.

There is also a 2005 act.

I hope you are wrong.

I can see why the BBC might dumb down their ordinary weather forecasts
(even though I think they are wrong to do so), but why would they do
that for their Sunday long-range one?

I guess they have to use brown to provide contrast with the blue puddles
of rain.
