BBC Weather Site

Has anyone noticed that the 24 hour outlook and the weather map on the BBC website often tell different stories? Maybe they are updated at different times?

The 24 hour outlook tells me it will be sunny intervals at 4pm then grey cloud at 7pm. It doesn't forcast any rain until 10pm.



Yet the map shows me a big band or rain over belfast at 4pm and then rain is still around at 7pm

Re: BBC Weather Site

I have noticed that one minute next 5 days is sunny..look later..and next 5 days is rain

I don't trust the site..prefer the old method..look outside

Re: BBC Weather Site

It's the classic weather forecasters catch all - sunshine and showers.

Re: BBC Weather Site

I wouldn't worry too much. The BBC predicted in 2006 that Central London would reach 1,700 degress celsius.. I seem to remember it being rather hot, but not that hot..

Re: BBC Weather Site

Well the map was right. Not a single sunny interval.
