Weather forecasters - rubbish

[SpokeyDokey]

Forecast last night for today - patchy showers after overnight rain - feeling warm/humid.

Actual - continuous drizzle all day (easing a bit now) and cold. Out there it is 13C on the stick-on-the-window-computer-weather-station-xmas-present thing. In here it is down to 17C and the heating has just been put on.

Presume they are not on performance related pay?

No, but available somewhere will be the limit of uncertainty inherent in their prediction models.

I want the forecast to be correct for tomorrow and incorrect for Monday.

On Thursday it forecast for Monday a monsoon like rain!, this morning Monday is nothing but grey cloud.
I think they have a great job, I could predict the weather better than them!

Here it said dry until lunchtime and then rain all afternoon. We decided not to ride, as we were late up today and by the time we'd walked the dogs we wouldn't really have time. We did some gardening instead. It didn't blooming rain until nearly 4.
Still, the garden has been worked on, weeded, grass mown etc

Yes - we are Soft Southerners who defected to the Cold North.

Only job in the World you can seemingly talk horseshit that bears no resemblance to what's actually happening every day; and yet continue to turn up and get paid...........
