Where Has All The Rain Come From?

[Nemo123]

Every day I check the forecast, http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/31

and it promises a sunny day next week. But invariably come the day and it's raining.

Europe's being flooded. (Take a look at the predictive sequence over the south of France for next week). 16 dead in flash flood in the US.

What's happened to the weather?

[arista]

El Nino.

Nothing. The weather is just the same as always.

Stop looking at one icon weather forecasts online which are of no use to anyone and start watching BBC forecasts at 27 and 57 mins past the hour on BBC News 24 (503) or at the end of BBC news. Preferably watch the local forecast after your local BBC news.

The only thing that is befuddling you is your own lack of knowledge

Not regarding meteorology and climatology you are not.

You're just as clueless about what the weather will be like next week as the rest of us.

OK then, do tell. What special knowledge have you got? And is it any better than the BBC's who say it will be sunny 3 days hence, and it rains?

Our esteemed weather forecaster this morning said it would be sunny now. Couldn't even get that right!

You misunderstand the word forecast, regional topography, time of day and the difference betwixt a one icon day forecast, a written forecast and a national forecast.

The problem is with your poor interpretation of the data not the data itself.

If for example you dont leave the house until 1pm and it rained 7 am to 12 am and was sunny 2pm till dark the one icon forecast for your area may indicate sunshine, dark cloud and rain. You think oh it will rain, go out and no rain, you then think it is wrong - but it is not wrong it just illustrated the limitations of one icon.

[Nemo123]

If they say it is going to be sunny 3 days hence with a simple sunny icon, and then 3 days later it is raining, and the simple icon is a cloud with rain coming from it, then the weather forecast is pretty much useless.
