I don't think a percentage is complicated, and I'm sure there are times when they're certain it'll be nice and dry and other times when it's really 50/50.. It'd just be nice to know which is which.
Didn't know they used to do it... Foiled by morons yet again!

The solution is to go and live somewhere where the weather is very predictable such as northern africa or the middle east. I believe that parts of central USA are like that too.
I'd hate it.

Central England, max 20 degrees, 10% chance of rain, etc
They dropped it because too many listeners didn't understand it. They just wanted to know "whether it was going to rain or not" !!!

That's like having no control over the railways stopping me complaining when the trains aren't running to the published timetable.
We pay the wages of weathermen to... (etc, etc)

Originally posted by DimPrawnSimple. Most people use the long distance weather forecast to plan an event ahead of time.
If the forecasters can change the long distance forecast on any given day, what is the bloody point of the forecast?
You may as well just trust to luck.
Long range forecasting is hard, and I'd say they get it right 75% of the time.

Originally posted by dang65I've found that the best display of the weather is on that big screen that most rooms have on the wall. It shows if it's sunny or rainy exactly where you are. Amazingly accurate. Don't know how they do that. Must be Web 2.0 or something.
