Almost every day the Met Office and the BBC weather forecasts are different just a few hours from now. As an example, the BBC shows a 30% chance of rain here this afternoon and light cloud whereas the Met Office has dark clouds and an 80% chance of rain! The only certain forecast seems to be looking out of the window!
OK, I know the UK weather is hard to predict, but surely the BBC and Met Office should be in close agreement for a few hours' time? Often the forecast is wrong for the present time. They forecast sun and out the window it is raining.
If you don't like the look of one, you can always try the other!
Why should the BBC and the Met Office be in close agreement? According to wikipedia, the BBC now source their weather forecasts from Meteogroup ie nothing to do with the Met Office.
ReplyDeleteWhat annoys me is they are BOTH frequently wrong! You would hope the weather is the same, even if the forecasts come from different sources.
