What are the BBC up to?

I'm in Grays, Essex and have just visited http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/

It shows Tuesday and Wednesday's summaries (it's Wednesday already) with
maximums of 21 and 18 respectively. It was almost 30 degrees when I drove
home at 10pm. How wrong can they be????

Yes, it's rubbish, isn't it. I thought they may have made an
error of 10°C in the forecast max (as a sort of typo) but the Sun
Index is "Low" and the weather is "Rain". This is not what I have
experienced today with the latest day ever (since 1983) for a max over
30. The Met Office, as the originator of the forecast, should be
fuming over this cockup.

I think it's a problem with the site backend more than anything -
probably picking up some relic data from somewhere (end of the month,
code confused?!). Anyway it fixed itself at 9:25 this morning!
