If they moved to Millbank on the 1st April, that is when the weather started coming through in bad quality. Sorry to state the obvious ...

All very predictable really...................

Well it was until the 1st of April. Now Millbank studios as the Met office have got a cheaper deal!

Yikes.. no wonder!

If the bad quality isn't bad enough... guess which 3 ladies have sprung up again this lunchtime.

Comes to something when the regional weather is more watchable to the one shown across the county!

Looks like the broadcast from last night for London was pre-recorded from Grays Inn Road, now were at Millbank..

Oh please, I much prefer Sheila's Wheels to those awful bland generic eSure ones..

Wonder what's causing the poor quality? Very strange.

The Evening, Late and Weekend London weathers are recorded in Grays Inn Road. All other weathers are from Millbank.

Has the ITV National Weather picture improved this weekend ? Or does it still look like it's been recorded on a camcorder ?

I have to say, the weather needs a radical overhaul on ITV. Everything from the presentation, to the content and the sponsorship is woeful.

They need to overhaul the graphics badly, and realise that most other broadcasters have moved on from the cloud with a raindrop approach and are actually plotting the course of the weather much more accurately. It's just worthless on ITV.

Then you have the lingering black between the end of the weather and the sponsor which they still haven't managed to time correctly, cutting off the presenter in mid-flow.

ITV's weather forecasts are an absolute disgrace. The picture quality on my television was extremely awful, and the graphics are cheap and stale. Add Sheila's Wheels to the equation, and you'll have one irritated man who will stick to the BBC's weather forecast in future.

Why is it that almost everything that comes out of Milbank looks so poor?
