Has anyone noticed that the BBC weather website changes its mind a lot?

I'm off the Arnside Knott on friday...

On monday BBC tells me the weather on friday will be "big yellow sun"
On tuesday it tells me it will be "white outline cloud with yellow rays"
Today (wednesday) it tells me it will be "grey outline cloud with yellow rays and a water droplet"

Agh!!

You're not the only one to spot this Wayne!

It reminds me of a comedy sketch I once saw. If it says "A totally cloudless and sunny day" then I'll stay in bed. If it says "Snow, hail, thunder" then I know it'll be good.

The info. seems to be directly derived from the Met Office forecast which is, therefore, just as "good".

My advice - get out whatever the "weather"!

Cheers,

Hehe, I'll make the trip anyhow, I'll be glad of a break and its been a while since I have been camping.

wwwa.accuweather.com tells me it will be "Warm with sunny periods", so as long as I use that forcast everything should be fine!
