The Weather Forecast Thread

So think on Lembit!

Oooh... a bit of an Atlantic Low there...

I'm glad BBC Weather have upted their frame rate. It runs so much nicer now.

Shame they've not converted back to green.

The frame-rate may have been upped, but the weather on the 1 O'Clock News today looked appalling! The gap between the screens seems to have widened, creating a very distracting line of white light obscuring the map. The picture also seemed a little soft.

On the up-side, they seem to have added a sort of "shimmering" effect to the sea when zoomed in, which looked quite nice.

I noticed that, but it only seemed to be when they were doing a roundup of the weather for coastal resorts.

Does the shimmer-effect represent rougher seas?

Helen Willetts referred to a weather front as a "chap" this morning on the Countryfile forecast. The Corbett vocabulary is spreading!

I take that back. It's used on all the fly-through sequences.

reporting scotland used the 2000 style maps for the summary in breakfast

Isobel Laing is going to move to Sky News
Also its good to see Suzanne Charlton back on BBC weather albeit part-time!

Did it really? I might start looking at the BBC for weather again.

I'm really fed up of being told that the new system is "clearer", when it patently isn't for anyone in the central belt of Scotland.

Where did the Isobel Lang story come from?

Sky News weather seems to appear randomly. At least on News 24 you know it'll appear before the hour and half hour.

Isobel Lang did her last shift at the BBC about three weeks ago, but she didn't want any fuss to be made as (in her words) she's still seeing all her friends there, it's just that she's forecasting at a different location..
