Slightly off topic but think Scotland could be in for a bad winter - the rowan berries came early and are more than plentiful. The last twice there were so many we'd had horrendously cold winters.

I sometimes get the feeling that they could not accurately predict yesterday's weather.
It is very frustrating when you look at the local forecast and it it tells you glorious sunshine and it is actually tipping it down - or vice versa when you have decided against something because of the forecast.

I love it when people knock the Met Office, when challenged to do better they usually shut up sharpish.
I think that I might like a shot at it, with their salaries and funding of course!
After all they are not a charity so why should't they be held accountable for their actions? just like the rest of us?
they might need to upgrade there seaweed or pine cones they use or maybe just look out the window and see whats going on. used to phone up Birmingham airport too see what weather was going to be like they were very good and cheep/free plus they could be very funny...
