      Hi,

      If the weather forecasters were CEO's of banks they'd be paid £M's in bonuses.

      They can't forecast with accuracy what the weather will be like tomorrow. We've been forcast heat warnings; thunder storms; light showers more thunderstorms and here's their latest laugh;

      Rain's got to start before it can stop; they need to get a life and another job more suited to their abilities.

      I hope I'm not too unkind but I get fed up of guesses. :wallbanging:

      Kind regards, Colin.

            I'm probably one of the first to criticise weather forecasts, but only when they are blatantly wrong.

            The situation at the moment is difficult and uncertain so you can't take it literally, I sometimes wonder why they try to give an hour by hour forecast because it's not possible at times.
            I think the answer is, stop looking if it winds you up. :biggrin:

                  The rain started last night just before it got dark and continued through the night. It was heavy this morning with large dubs everywhere (to save you Googling - puddles) and continued until mid-morning. The sun tried to break through but another shower put a stop to that.
                  Currently 17°C and RH of 88%. Feels very close.
                  I use the Met Office App and the weather station less than a mile away and I find the forecasts extremely accurate. It gives a percentage likelihood so you cannot get upset if it says a 10% chance of rain and it doesn't happen.

                      Hi,

                      Thanks pete; I like to start my day with a good laugh; we live right next to "The Pennines" where the weather changes in a blink; brilliant sunshine one minute bucketting down the next minute; I don't know why they bother with forecasts for us; here's the latest;

                      upload_2022-8-15_14-2-25.png

                      They'll eventually get it right. Normally I'd have to check online but these small messages started to appear on the bottom taskbar;

                      upload_2022-8-15_14-6-58.png

                      Wow I've got rid of these weather messages so as you rightly say pete I no longer have to look at them. Here's the taskbar now.

                      Whoopee. :biggrin::yes::yes::yes::yes:

                      Kind regards, Colin.

                            Some moisture dribbled from our skies earlier on and wet a few leaves in my garden, but now the blazing hot sun has returned and is burning everything up again ... so much for the thunder storm warning.
