If I had a nickel for all the times the weather report said it was going to be a sunny day..... usually it is cloudy. For a while there, the forecast was wrong almost weekly.
Lol...That's a good one. It's like something out of a comedy sketch.
Haha - that's what everybody thought... After this event, comedies started to really take the **** out of weather forecasts, here's a clip from splitting image:
Cause now the BBC and Met Office mostly gets it right because of satellites and state of the art computers so it's very unlikely it would happen today. But then all the BBC had was ships and radar, cause when you've got a hurricane on coarse for Europe all the ships are going to go where it's save, so there was no proper warning - plus this was a one in every 500 year storm, so yea!
Wrong precipitation type- snow that ends up as rain and vice versa. Or we get forecasts like " showers, some wintry with hail and thunder mixed in" which basically translates to "We Don't Know".
They also often underestimate cloudiness in the summer, so often a forecast sunny day clouds over by midday and leads to temps of 20-21 instead of the 25 they forecast. And they are awful with North Sea cloud, they confine it to the east coast when it spreads right across the Midlands, even into Wales. And they promise it will get lost by mid morning when it goes at 2pm, if at all.

That would be more common in England I guess, because of its milder weather. It's gonna suck a lot for the snow lovers though - Expecting snow and all you get is boring rain.
A better question is what does your weather forecast usually get right?
