The standard of weather forecasting, especially recently, has been appalling. Is it unreasonable, particularly given the massive investments made, to expect at least the short term forecasting to be fairly accurate? Much of the time the forecast isnt even close. The medium range forecast is even worse to the point of being totally useless. 'Likely to be wetter and colder in the north west and drier and warmer in the south west' seems to be the general view. You dont say, really!!Stop trying to forecast what the climate will be in a hundred years time (based on the same type of useless computer modelling) and concentrate on the accuracy of short to medium term forecasting.
