dear BBC:

Please learn how to forecast weather.

The five-day forecast for Oxford is here.  Note how for today, Monday, it says "high 75".  Then note up where it says "current observations" -- right.  Cloudy, 84.

Last time I checked, 84>75.

It's fucking hot and I'm fucking sick of it.  And I really am going to need it not to be 77 (by BBC standards, for which apparently read 86) on Friday, when I'll be in sub-fusc all day and miserable.

I think this could be generalized to all Meteorologists, not just BBC ones.

Meteorology, Economics, and POTUS - the only jobs where you can be wrong 75% of the time and still keep your job.
