After 93 years the Beeb has dumped the Met Office.
I bet the Met did not see that storm coming 
Some years ago, Norway awarded the national weather forecaster the title of âLiar of the Yearâ award.
I heard this being discussed on the radio yesterday. The weather forcast is going to be put out to tender I guess to find a cheaper option than the Met office taking into account the BBC cuts .
So our forecast could be coming from another country.
I donât like change 
I am too oldâŠ
The BBC said it would still use the Met Office for its severe weather warnings.
Makes buying that latest purchase of itâs ÂŁ100m Cray super computer worthwhile doesnât it;-)
Thereâs an old lady at the top of our village who is a witch.
Sheâs a white witch, and doesnât walk around with a pointy hat, and no warts on her nose.
She tells the future weather by squeezing her bunions or something. Sheâd do it for the BBC for a couple of quid a week. Probably much more accurate than the Sinclair Cray as well.
Tomorrowâs weather? Itâs gonna rain. Thatâs for free. A sample of the old witches skill.
Sounds like a case of Scilly automatic gone to far
I was rather intrigued at the method of âby squeezing her buttocksâ to forecast weatherâŠthen I put my glasses back on.
Oooh, Solo, you are awfulâŠ
⊠but I like you.!!
does this mean we are going to get some idiot jumping around on a styrafoam map?
Excellent news I say !
Maybe now we will get some decent weather !
Ha! You mean Liverpool, donât you. I knew those maps very well.
Thats the one⊠If only he had fallen in and drownedâŠ
Lets be honestâŠour weather is a bit of a joke and predicting it must be hell !!!
I donât think we need the weather âforecastâ on TV anymore, itâs never accurate anyway, this is 2015 and scientists can tell you when thereâs storms on Mars but down here itâs another story. I mean suppose you wanted to take the family out on a picnic from A to B in the UK, could you get a clear answer if it was going to rain in B at 1pm when you arrive? no they couldnât give you a straight yes or no answer, so that is not âforecastingâ the weather, if I go into the bookies and do a forecast bet I have to pick the right horses to come first and second in that order, otherwise I lose me bet. The BBC is right to chuck âem out, or keep them on part time âWeather Guessersâ. Who can ever forget Mickey Fish?
I look at the satellite map online (Sat24) and itâs like looking down on the country live, you can see the clouds coming in and departing, plus which way the wind is blowing them and then make your own judgements on what the rest of the day is going to be like, if you get it wrong donât despair, the BBC have been getting it wrong for donkeys years and theyâre professionals.
Most of the time yes Jem 
not days ahead but hours ahead the local forecast is very reliableâŠ
I put my postcode in here every morning and check before hanging the washing out âŠ
Aah, well you see, Meg, you should do what us country folks do. We look out of the window.
I do that as well Han but it is only reliably accurate for about 10 minutes âŠ
Ooh Aargh. It be zunny today. Oil leave me wellies at home.
As Jem said âthey are never accurate anywayâ. I have never seen such a bunch of weather wannabes trying to justify or prolong their spot on TV with fancy graphs and words .
Our weather system is notoriously unpredictable and no fancy million pound computer will change that. I have more faith in my seaweed hanging outside the back door and I will even try squeezing my buttocks âŠbecause I really do object to paying my TV license for that Weather forecasting shower on the Beeb
I have a Met Office weather app on my i-phone and it is ridiculously inaccurate. I know weather forecasting is a notoriously difficult science, but they seem to get it very wrong very often. Maybe if they spent more time actually looking at weather and less trying to manipulate evidence to âproveâ anthropogenic global warming, they might get it right more often.
