As you were undoubtedly an amateur climatologist of some considerable ability at some stage threaded what's the prognosis for the next bank holiday?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.
