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.


As far as I know, News-24 as was (now BBC News) does not have presenters,
they are all forecasters and are in the foreground. Some are more in the
foreground than others.

I agree that we can blame the forecasters then - and that they should have
done their homework properly. We are assuming of course that the latest
information is made available to them.
