BBC Weather & the Met Office...

[Polar Bear]

They've got at least two supercomputers. 

I've touched one of them...

The other one does not yet have a Tenuous Claim to Fame. 

Surely it's tenuous claim to fame is that it has not been touched by Jaded?

And Meteogroup get their weather data for the UK from the Met-office ...

Ha, so they do.  If said data is processed using the same 'models', perhaps it is a 'synch' update thing.

[Jaded]

Or the Met Office do more detailed work on the data, that costs more...

I think that they both agree that the weather is going to be bloody awful this week end. Must be a bank holiday or something.

Earlier this am the BBC forecast rain all day here, whereas MetO had cloudy, no rain.  No rain at all yet @ 11.30, and BBC has changed to reflect the MO forecast. 

So possibly a lag thing; I'll probably side line BBC weather in future in favour of MetO.
