Why are they so inaccurate?

All that technology and they can't get it right in-day and the 5 days forecast is a joke!

Hi Rev, good to see youre still about :)

my dad has a theory that the weathermen give you a forecast that is actually yesterdays weather. it means they are probably more acurate than if they tried guessing lol

I quite liked the viewpoint of a professor of statistics who once pointed out that, in Britain, if you said: "Tomorrow's weather will be much like today's", you'd be right about 2/3 of the time. I've never really listened to a forecast since!

OMG, me being a trained hairdresser, i have found my calling on the answerbank!

Sod all the fuss about chatterbank! The weather is where its at for me!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

oh sorry Rev, the forecasts, well take it all with a pinch of salt and see what comes along!
Why do we really need to know anyway? Its not like we can change it is it?

Hi Red & Unruly ;-)

Its handy to know for oxample fancy going to the seaside at the weekend but before booking anything wanted to know the weather lol

[unrulyjulie]

ahhh but Rev, this day and age we get to know too much in advance i think! Heck, we can even see what our babies look like months before they are born!

If the forecasts were so accurate, there would have been no need for your question and i wouldnt have got to say hello to you this morning, so theres my answer, i think its a good thing ;-)

There's a 50% chance that tomorrow it should have been spelt whether.
