Buried in hail on Tuesday, according to the BBC.

In all the years looking at the BBC website, I have never seen hail forecast like that! I can see a backlash from people over these forecasts.

ive got that too... hmmm

Yes we have a similar forecast for here, the strange thing is it's been showing hail showers for Tuesday for the last three days whereas usually at that range it chops and changes like crazy. Perhaps it's something to do with Meteogroup now providing the forecast.

Perhaps their models are programmed by the Mad Thread

Would turn into a Express-esque forecast.

It looks like it has updated now. But, it was showing 12 hours of hail showers. I would actually take that! lol

PS: Winds gusting to 30mph.

Who do you work for? BBC, Meteogroup?

[festivalking]

Yep I got 8 hours of hail showers on Sunday according the beeb / meteogroup. In general I do think what is the point of having a 14 day forecast with percentages of rain. All models don't have that accuracy so why bother.

I don't take any notice of the automated forecasts anymore.

 

Typical all these showers rattling in when it's not cold enough for snow.

[Mapantz]
