weather and the forcasters

When have they ever been right?

For the past week they have been predicting alright weather for this weekend in Leeds, and now as of 6pm there is going to be thunderstorms.

I hope it rains in Reading too then.

What is the point in weather forcasters? I can stick my head out of the window and be more accurate!

    1987 - Michael Fish - "There's not going to be a hurricane."

    Kinda says it all really.

    Except now, they're so scared of not giving adequate warning of bad weather conditions you get flood warnings and then there's hardly any rain.

    Hope they're wrong this time too, and Leeds is great!!! Not going myself..... can't afford it :(

    What pisses me off the most is when, on the weather, they have a dark stormy cloud, with some rain falling from it, and a ray of sunshine peeking out from underneath. Surely they're just covering their backs?! Grrrr! :mad:

    What's wrong with just looking at satellite reports and drawing your own conclusion? Most half decent weather sites have an updated, "live" satellite image that shows the rain, the clouds, the sun...pretty much everything you need to know. Isobars are pretty useful as well.

    Learn to do your own weather.
