whether the weather...

Am I the only weather geek who has the Beeb’s RSS weather feeds in my feed reader? (Probably.) Al and I always say that Auntie has trouble telling the weather whilst looking out of the window but today’s feeds take the biscuit!

So far for today (and issued today) I’ve had three:

The forecast for Manchester (M1), United Kingdom on Friday: light rain. Max Temp: 10°C (50°F), Min Temp: 10°C (50°F), Wind Direction: S, Wind Speed: 12mph, Visibility: moderate, Pressure: 985mb, Humidity: 96%, UV risk: low, Pollution: low, Sunrise: 07:47GMT, Sunset: 16:02GMT

The forecast for Manchester (M1), United Kingdom on Friday: light rain. Max Temp: 11°C (51°F), Min Temp: 8°C (46°F), Wind Direction: S, Wind Speed: 12mph, Visibility: moderate, Pressure: 985mb, Humidity: 96%, UV risk: low, Pollution: low, Sunrise: 07:47GMT, Sunset: 16:02GMT

Wow! Three feeds just to tell me the max temp could be one degree higher and the min two lower.

What is the point?

hehe biscuits,
seems a little over stated in terms of weather reporting. But I imagine the weather can change on a point.
