Look carefully at the fronts -they overlap and cross (see Tuesday
over the Atlantic and Thursday over the UK)




Yes, every map has such an error, as well as showing fronts going the
wrong
way!!



I've just sent them an email so they can sort it out, although I
suspect that their inbox may be full at the moment!



Cost saving cuts, they got rid of the checker!

I'm not quite sure how they managed that....

Just had a look at your link (I assume it is to the "Atlantic Pressure
Charts") and I see no fronts, nor signs of any precipitation, for any day of
the week. Perhaps the BBC have responded to feedback, or are rather
embarrassed by this blunder, and removed them.

Regards, Roger

The time is quoted as 12:00 pm, but isn't that ambiguous? Surely they
should quote 12:00 hrs or midday if they mean noon, and 00:00 hrs
or midnight if they mean that?

Cheers, Alastair.
