BBC weather forecast

What a load of bollards !!!

We are having a doo on Sunday so I've been looking at the 5 day forecast. I was already sceptical but today the Sunday forecast has gone from cloudy 18, an hour later heavy showers 24, then clear 23, then light showers 22, and it's probably changed again while I'm writing this.

I am reverting to my old tactic of get pissed Sat night, wake up and look out of the window.

I find them generally more accurate than the beeb, who seem to get it wrong on a daily basis these days...

Plus they have a FF extension

Glad it's not just me then as this has driven me dilly for a while. Yesterday evening the website said 22 and showers for today. The news this morning said 27 and no rain. What gives!

BBC get their weather from the Met Office. A bunch of useless civil servants.

The 5-day forecast is worse than useless, it changes every few hours and bears no resemblance to reality.

Yup, I want 5% of my licence fee back for them stuffing up the weather this often. Not worth looking at.

The weather is a bit better with all 3 of those. Think I'll stick with looking out the window on Sunday morning method though

I think you will find that the truth is perfectly reasonable. These weather 'forecasts' are actually repeats, they were incredibly accurate when they first came out but , obviously, scheduling them now is a real nightmare.

What would we do without your original and thought provoking insight into such matters. My trust in the BBC and the government in general is now damaged for ever.
