Graphics gone awol again,
Forecast for West midlands is heavy rain clearing, dry by noon with a
few brighter spells this afternoon. Dry but rather cloudy tonight.
Gaphics show heavy rain symbols for Weston Coyney throughout the day
well into the night. They cant both be right!!
Last few hours very wet here with 27.8 mm so far.

The computer-generated hour-by-hour forecasts and the human-produced
text are all too often telling very different stories. As I said in
another thread recently, the computer models today are pretty good at
predicting the future state of the atmosphere but pretty rubbish at
predicting the actual weather that will occur. Raw model output was
never intended to be an end-user product.

The hourly forecast is different to the text forecast. The hourly forecast is showing heavy rain for most of the day but the text forecast states it will clear northeastwards. It is dry now so it looks like the text forecast is correct.

Yes the text forecast was spot on despite the graphics still showing
heavy rain well into tonght. No rain since 11.10 today, just mostly
cloudy.
I also have a problem with rain today rainfall app, it's being showing
rainfall all around us for a while now but its still dry??

Graham, have you tried https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar ?
It will show the same MO radar info and your comments suggest it was not as wet locally as the radar was indicating.

Thanks for this Julian. The netweather radar was much better than the
rain today radar and picked up all todays showers very accurately.
