The Met Office says similar for saturday and Sunday.
You have to watch the BBC one carefully, it changes very regularly, and also by going short distances, I sense a computer getting involved somewhere....

Although it seems like they're getting less and less accurate, it changes so quickly because they get so much information so much quicker than they used to, plus as time goes by they have more and more historical patterns and info. to base forecasts on...
I'll stop now or I'll sound like an anorak (no not an anorak that could jinx the weekend!)

In fact if you look at the BBC now, Saturday has rain, sunday is sunny. A complete turnround in under 2 hours!
I would be willing to say the computer is making it worse, not better with it's adaptive predicting.
Never trust a computer, trust me, I'm a computer engineer.

Wow that must be proof of the undeniable power of natural forces. The weather has outpaced the MET office computers and Sunday has now become Saturday. We've lost a day somewhere! Evidence that weather can age things, too!
Why on earth would we trust a computer engineer - surely you're on their side?-

Actually computers are fine, it's only when people start using them that the problems start
