Might I suggest we all keep details of occasions when the TAF's don't turn out accurately and send these details to Bose-X? Lawd knows he's said it's ok to do so enough times now!

For the record I've seen more changeable WX in the UK over the last coupla years and a Met Office who perhaps struggle to forecast accurately as often as we'd like, which is of course 100% of the time!

Is this down to a dependance on computer forecasting software models?

My view on WX forecasting is that it's a bit of an artform and requires an experienced and adaptable human meteorologist' hand analysing the situation, given the myriad of different factors involved, rather than a reliance on software but hey, I appreciate this is 2008 and money is God...

VFE.
