BBC Weather changes preview

Looks like we might have a hint of how the BBC weather graphics will look once Meteo takes over supplying data.
The BBC website appears to be running the Met Office and Meteo versions of weather in parallel, with a slight variation in the URLs.
These links may not work properly for everyone - my other half can only see the Meteo page with either version of the URL.

Current Met Office page for Stretford, Manchester: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636663

Meteo page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/2636663

Mod edit: Inaccessible images removed

The new pages also have a MeteoGroup flavicon

I see the animated weather map features green land, rather than the much maligned brown.

Surprised there’s no use of the Reith font on there yet.

The Bookmarklet that was posted for iPlayer, works on this page also. The text on the Map doesn't change though

Those BBC weather symbols are never going to die are they?

Two words

Brand Equity

Lol

The extra "/0/" in the weblink takes you to the new site which is much better in my opinion. I prefer the ITV Weather graphics on screen rather than the BBC's as it seems much clearer yet that is MetOffice - very strange why the BBC didn't adapt their presentation. Confused !

No more brown land!

Quote from that post:


Somehow using cloud services and CloudFormation really is appropriate in this context

This topic has been moved from TV Home Forum .

Interesting to maintain the original and new pages in tabs online and compare and contrast their forecasts and the outcome. For this morning here several differences and Meteogroup appear to have come out winners.
