Surely has to be the easiest job ever, unless you manage a football team .
I’d love to know how much money is pumped into this sphere when it’s as trustworthy to listen to the bloke in the flat cap who studies starlings and snails .
Bearing in mind, half of the country sets its store by this Hocus Pocus , what could be done with this National Institution TM

They should ban the practice altogether. So many things in this country get put off because of a poor weather forecast, when in fact it turns out to be fine.
Last year in the run up to our annual Cornish summer holidays my wife wanted to cancel and go abroad because the forecast predicted rain every day when in fact it turned out to be glorious.
Yep exactly the same here squire , lovely sunny afternoon ,get the barby started up then .....wallop torrential rain of biblical proportions absolutely guaranteed .Originally Posted by blackal

I'm gonna wheel the motorbike out into the driveway right now.
Sorry if you live near Belfast, the rains coming.
Its got to be one of the only jobs out there where you can get it wrong time after time and still be employed.

I have been a qualified Met Observer for almost 20 years. Well below what the forecasters do.
When I did my one week course at The Met Office, which was still in Bracknell then, we never mixed with the Forecasters. Their course included training to present on tv. Even back then it looked pretty impressive.
My top tip: Find somewhere in the UK with a great micro climate, and live there

I would quite happily be a glorious failure as a weather presenter as long as I could work alongside Naz or Becky.
TBH they all waffle on too much. All the info you need is on the graphics anyway. Prefer the Met Office but I normally watch with the sound off and scroll through.

I'd mowed the lawn yesterday evening and decided that all plants needed a lot of water. I opened the tap for hours and hours, turned it off around 1AM last night. Guess what? This morning it started raining. Cats and dogs. What strikes me most is that the forecast predicted... 'no rain' even when the sluices of heaven were opened.

Got to disagree on this one, weather forecasting thesedays us generally very good. Forecasting UK weather will never be an exact science, but thesedays with the satellites and computer modelling it definitely us a science.
Human nature being what it is, we always dwell on the times they get it wrong! I check the BBC weather website, I plan activities accordingly and I’m not happy if I get wet walking the dog when the forecast suggested otherwise.

Agreed. Forecasting isn't exact science.
Perhaps weather forecast sites should have disclaimers saying... Past (weather) data may not be the best indicator for future weather (performance).

Becky and Naz give you something to get a grip of and get a heat off in the winter.
