Just Wondering/ECAM - I take no notice of the WX 'forecast'!

Just landed today @ LPL. Nice!

Are they getting more and more unreliable?! I know cyclic depressions like the one we had today, cannot be accurately predicted, ie, where they track, but is it me, or does technology march forward, but leaves behind the forecasting ability of the met office?!

It's now predicted by a bank of computers, unlike the old days when it was from direct observations from weather stations scattered about the UK and Azores, interpreted by forecasters!

All you get nowadays is 'a chance of showers/rain/snow' etc!
