Met Office new local weather forecast design

[The PIT]

They've been redesigning their web site and made a complete mess of it. Just looks dreadful a 5 year old kid would probably make a better looking website.

Agreed really dont like it, just to much info on one page, it all blurs into one mess,made to fit in with phone apps I think where you swipe from side to side.

just read what it said for the south-west

Cloudy. Gusts will be strong enough to make small trees sway by the evening, but it shouldn't blow you over.

Not a fan. It's an annoying site to use now, especially on a desktop PC. For one thing, I can't find a way to get the UK-wide five-day text forecast from a location forecast page. All I can see is the local one and the two further outlooks. Secondly, if I expand (say) a further outlook, the down arrow to the right changes to an up arrow. Basic common sense would suggest I could click that to collapse it again -- but I can't. Poor.

I don't like everything being made to look like a basic phone app, and I say that as someone who uses his phone a lot. I'll probably get used to it, and if the irritations I mentioned are tweaked that will help. But right now I certainly prefer the old look.

It's now Monday morning, and they're still showing Saturday's text forecast on the homepage

The regional pages are even worse they're still stuck on Friday's update

[Summer Sun]

They've managed to get all the pages in sync and showing today's update

How long it'll last remains to be seen

Used for a few days it needs taking down and redoing from scratch.

Personally I think it is a step back and I preferred the old layout.

However I still like the Maps layout and hope that this does see big changes.
