Default A poor forecast I'm afraid.

I hate to criticise but the forecast and the graphics on the News 24
clearly showed and it was said that there was a clearance of cloud amd rain
south eastwards. This is true of the rain but the IR and Vis Sat Pics
clearly show that the cloud is in fact spreading S.E to NW and will soon be
over the Midlands at this rate. Why oh why don't the presenters look at
these readily available images.

Dave, I thought that all the presenters did was to read what they were
given, embellished according to their own taste. It would surely be the
forecasters in the background who would have got the forecast wrong, if that
is indeed the case.

PS South Farnborough still reporting sunshine all day, in spite of there not
having been any. So it is not only the forecasters who get it wrong.
