Weather Forecasts Are Supposed to be Much Better These Days

but I couldn't believe one I saw earlier for the North West, claiming that today would be sunny and dry with temperatures
rising to 10 C.

It's over-carrrst, raining, fezzing freezin' with an icy breeze.

And that's a forecast for the same day.

Lol! Suits your personality.
Looks like I've got your weather here, Gravitas. It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining and everybody is happy with big, smiling faces lapping up the sunshine lol.

Tough luck buddy

I agree mate. What is "better" anyway in weather forecasts?
It depends if you are a polar bear or a Gila monster. One likes the cold, the other likes the heat.
But we can all be safe in the knowledge that Gravitas is freezing in his pink, fluffy slippers drinking hot chocolate, can't we?

Re: Weather Forecasts Are Supposed to be Much Better These Days

Last night, l scraped off biggish chunks of ice from my small deep freezer.
Instead, of putting them into the sink to melt and go down the plug hole, I threw them onto the lawn.
I couldn’t believe, when l went out to see to my hens this morning, they were still as l chucked them out, chunks of ice! They were still the same after midday.

That’s how cold it is here!

Had hospital visit this morning - standing at bus stop in pouring rain and hail in a bitingly cold gale force wind. All this was accurately forecast both by local and national forecasters.

Same here & though we aren't a million miles apart, it can be different.
