I’ve noticed in the last few months how poor the BBC weather app seems to be. Think I might well just delete it now as it’s always wrong. |  | | |

The Met Office and BBC for a particular location often differ especially in terms of maximum temperature but I haven't figured out which is the more accurate. |  | | |

I always use metcheck these days, theyre far more accurate on weather, especially rain, than the met office, even if the wind speeds they quote are sometimes a little lower than actuality |  | | |

This is usually pretty decent.

It was raining very heavily here earlier so I wouldn't rule out some heavy rain in Ipswich at some point.

"BBC Weather in association with MeteoGroup"
Click on MeteoGroup and it goes to a company website for DTN who don't appear to do anything meteorological. Edit, they do, just hidden away a bit. [Post edited 19 Jul 11:23]

I am assuming they were cheaper and hence they got the contract.

It is based on the ECMWF weather model from 24 hrs previous rather than the latest run so definitely not that reliable in an evolving weather situation. |  |

Im surprised it hasnt been questioned more, especially with these constant weather alerts that now form part of their forecasting and the met office too fwiw in terms of forecasting 2-3 days out is terribly inaccurate ime (and I note it because it affects which days I decide to go for a cycle ride so Im very aware of what the weather is forecast and what the weather actually ends up being)
and people are cancelling events because of it,so losing money

I bet theyre sitting there now going, we could have held it given the actual conditions.
just like the dog show they cancelled due to the forecast extreme heat, that never showed up either.
but there seems no feedback loop, no one is challenging them or holding them to account on hold on 3 days ago (and 40-50 years ago 3 day forecasts were accurate) you forecast this, and actually the weather was this instead.
they just seem to release a forecast and carry on predicting the wrong weather. | | | |

Where I live it’s currently warm, dry but cloudy. According to the BBC weather app it’s thunderous with heavy rain.
I don’t expect 100% but rather somewhere close in terms of the weather would be good. | | | |

To be fair to the BBC and Met Office, their hourly forecasts for the day do specify the chance of precipitation in a particular hour which is often much less than 100%. [Post edited 19 Jul 11:56]

The BBC had a discount using the Met office but the last government increased the price by a huge amount, BBC said OK we will go elsewhere. The Met office would have been the more accurate option but the price was way too expensive. |  | | |

They used to be better that the Met Office. The missus used met office and I use the BBC. It’s a standing joke in our house how she’s always got it wrong. Maybe the BBC are better in the west 🤷♂️ |  |
