Been marvelling at the week ahead, reorganising work, looking at maps...

I have 2 apps - met office and one called Windy. Met is pretty conservative - "only a few drops of rain old fellow, nothing to worry about." Whereas Windy is more dramatic "ITS A FUCKING HURRICANE WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"

So usually it's somewhere in between and both remarkably say sunshine (patchy) for the week ahead.

The way they simplify the weather is so inconsistent and decieving.
Sunny and dry but 30% chance of rain and the graphic looks like a monsoon.

So you take an umbrella and its suntan all day.
Oh and its strangely free, why is weather prediction practically free outside of the bbc.
A few adverts on the web page is hardly gonng to cover the costs involved.

Edit..I deep dived, its quite a bag of snakes.

Used Windy to see the maps with the wind, rain, fronts, and pressure centers headed your way. It just shook its head in grim silence.
