Default how about a weather game?

You post what the weather men say in the morning
then post what it actually did.

we can then see how right/wrong they get it

This is only for fun though please, I know its hard to predict the weather in the UK.

well, BBC said the overall picture for today in my town was Heavy Rain. Click on the detailed forecast and it says Light Rain.

this happens frequently .... I think they're hedging their bets.

btw, it's absolutely belting down.

This morning they said it would be dry, then wet, then dry, then wet again. In fact, it rained solidly without stopping from last night til about an hour ago. I've been soaked 4 times!
Plenty more to come over the weekend too; Metcheck.com - Weather Forecast for Skipton
