If there is a day with zero sunshine how does the Met Office decide on sunniest place? On the Met Office web site for the London and S.E summary for last 24 hrs it has Odiham as sunniest with 0.0 hrs. (I'd hate to be there on a cloudy day!). Is it possible that there was a few minutes in the morning below the 0.1 hrs resolution quoted making it the sunniest? or does the computer just pick a...

.... the cold front (with minor but potent waves) that crossed us yesterday is wandering its way across NW Europe - the overnight rainfall radar returns showed that the 'line convection' element was particularly fine (for a meteorologist!), though not perhaps if you were actually underneath it.

Hi All, I've been looking at the wind speeds on the Met Office site for the London area over the next couple of days but am confused about the status of the wind speeds shown and would really appreciate some help understanding this. There are often two indicators shown, the mean speed shown in a 'circle' symbol and, sometimes, a red box directly below showing the speed of gusts. I'm curious...
