Not liking the new weather graphics at all and what happened to the main weather forecast after the local news?


I wasn't watching the clock closely, but did they perhaps extend the time of the regional opt to allow for longer local forecasts?

I believe all local news progs started today as soon as George and Sophie said goodbye. There was no closing titles to the six.

Interesting bit on Look North, the map went flat for a moment for the tide times, before moving back 3D.

Paul Hudson admitted that he would have prefered a green map after Cathy Killick turned her nose up at all the brown

Again, 100% correct. Surprised more didn't spot the lack of a proper intro into the programmes.

Sorry about that, Bruce.

I was on 958 for the Alderney liberation special.

Do you know... astoundingly, I think I rather like them. I've watched a few forecasts now and it's taken a while to make up my mind about them, they're certainly very different, but I think they work quite well. I think people need to give them a little bit of time.

The rain prediction feature is very good, perhaps the difference between sunshine and cloud could be worked on and some tweaks will probably be necessary, but overall I think it looks OK.

Both Angie in NI and Heather in Scotland said the graphics will take some getting used to, afterwards Jackie and Sally in Scotland said they wouldnt comment!

The Midlands version looks foul. The rain is these long streaks coming down the screen . And Shefali looked like she had no idea what was going on Sad

yes, poor shef didnt seem to know what to say. the rain looked more like asteroids on midlands today, and the Y in coventry was strangely absent, not to mention the lack of "fly overs".

crap.

New graphics, 100% better! They look more modern and prefer the more modern colours, rather than the ugly cyan blue. Brilliant!
