Guys these links may only be valid for today, but they show the complete lack of reliability of forecasters generally!! Please look at both and compare!

The Weather Channel agrees with the rainy one on worldweather. Don't know where the BBC get sunny from - that's not what going on outside my house right now!"Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full. However, this is skirting around the issue. The real problem is that the cup is too big."0

Unless we are in for EXTREME weather what difference does weather forecasting make to most of us?
With the exception of farmers and fishermen, whether or not it's going to rain or be sunny makes no difference whatever.
Too much hype about a little bit of rain.
We are becoming more like America every day.
We haven't had any BAD weather for ages yet you would think, judging by last weeks forecasts, that we were in for typhoons & hurricanes."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0 -

I've also heard that the Today Programme's racing tips aren't the best on the planet either !0 -
Its weather forecasting - I'm yet to hear any meteorologist claim it's an exact science.
If you think there are big variations from different labs have you tried looking at fiscal forecasts?0
