Everything about the current style of weather forecasting pisses me off. The way they go on about how the weather was today. Thanks, I know what the weather was like today, I was there, I could see perfectly well. After they’ve wasted most of their 5 minutes (or less) spot telling just how the weather WAS they then start to tell us about what its going to be like tonight/tomorrow/weekend. Do they come out straight with it, do they fuck ! No, they waffle on about cold fronts and warm front and how the weather systems over the republic of elbonia are moving westward. I DON’T CARE, just tell me what its going to be like here, with some degree of accuracy. And when they finally get around to what its going to be like, they have to sensationalise it. It’s not going to be hot, there’s a ‘Heat Wave Warning’ as if we’re all too fucking stupid to understand that ‘hot’ means there’s going to be a lot of heat. Why don’t we have an ‘Overcast Warning’, so that we can all prepare for the miserable weather and get our best ‘typical british weather’ voice ready.
