Where is all the rain they predicted ?

Sludge, you've got to stop complaining about the weather. And the Premier League. We know you don't like it warm, we know you hate Liverpool. And we know you don't rate Pep. I have to say though, complaining about 21 degrees is piss poor. That's considered ideal sleeping weather here. We have our air conditioning set to 21 degrees.

I can understand not getting thunder and lightning when forecasted, that's very hit and miss so to speak. But giving an 80% chance of rain over at least a 6 hour period and then not receiving a drop is unfathomable. Only one thing worse and that's not getting snow when predicted. I feel cheated.

It was hammering down in Caerphilly at 3 this morning. No sign of rain now despite them saying it would.

Raining on their parade in Manchester. In fact it’s a deluge. Edit it’s been delayed because of bad weather.

I believe that the BBC ditched Met Office forecasts in favour of those from AccuWeather.

What I don't understand is why BBC and Met Office forecasts can differ so wildly on a regular basis. In fact it is quite unusual for them to agree on anything. You would think that by using these supercomputers, there would be fewer discrepancies in their forecasts.

As the Met Office is a government agency maybe it's funding has been cut, and its supercomputer aint as super as Accuweathers?

As a generality I would say the opposite is true. The Met Office seems to be a tad more accurate than the BBC. For example the BBC will forecast higher temperatures and heavier snowfall than the Met Office but it is usually the latter that is nearer the mark.

Surprisingly, the review sites I have read have put the Met Office way down the list and below Accuweather and Meteo Group (the latter seemingly the BBC supplier these days).
