I can't remember the exact figure (which is just as well, because it probably isn't accurate anyway) but forecasts are only supposed to have a 1/3 chance of accuracy anyway.
i checked the weather forecast for saturday-just-gone on at least five different occasions - the weather each time was different to before, and the weather on saturday was much better than predicted. as a result i have sunburn on my nose and cheeks.
sometimes i get into my office at 8.45 and the forcast will show a big happy sun when its shitting it down outside, and then if you check at 9.05 its been corrected. solution: cut outt he middleman and go to the met office's site
This is always the case though, isn't it?

Just roll some dice instead.
I seem to remember there being more accuracy than this.
Certainly I'd hope they can get it right less than 12 hours in the future.
i sympathise

Do you think if you developed skin cancer
or pneumonia as a result of exposure to weather conditions opposite to those a forecaster predicted, you could sue and get lots of money?
i'm not sure.
i'm more thinking of those "customer services" cartoons in Modern Toss:
"This weather report I read, gave me skin cancer. I'd like to know where I stand"
yeah there is
it's fun looking at how different the forecasts are for different areas under the same met office
checking weather forecasts at midnight on saturday?
rock n roll!
In-deed!
Look out the window instead?
hmm
weather forecasting in "not precise science" shocker?
it should be more precise
it spends a lot of money, uses a lot of technology and is a science.
normally i don't seem to have a problem with it being wrong though, albeit i don't check it on the hour
