Weather forecasts ?

[AHPP]

XC weather or ask a vicar.

NONE!! they cant predict yesterdays weather let alone the future. Wake up , look out the window, thats the weather forecast. At 6 o clock today the forecast on the net for my area tomorrow was sunshine and dry all day. The itv with Amanda houston said heavy rain??????????

 

Spot on x2!

 

I have been farming for well over 40 years and if I had farmed by the weather forecast I would have been broke years ago.

I suspect it is the same for arb people. You just have to have all the gear and be ready and prepared for any eventuality weather or otherwise.

You have to try and set about the job in hand and sometimes it is too windy or wet but you never really know until you are on site and the amazing amount of times you are surprised that it is not as bad as you thought on site, even if it is really bad only a few miles away.

 

Millions of pounds spent on computers and more to come I gather,

 

£97m supercomputer makes UK world-leader in weather and climate science - Met Office

 

CEO of Met Office on £220,000 a year, £80,000 more than Cameron, and no penalty for wrong forecasts

 

Met Office seeking new chief executive | Western Morning News

 

 

but now I see a bonus to all staff for correct forecasts!

 

Met Office staff get £1m bonuses for accurate forecasts - Telegraph

 

Wish someone would give me a bonus every time I make a good hinge!
