[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 1554374, member: 818"] Its not the same for retailers though is it? They don't need to know if its going to be dry and sunny in Leamington Spa on the 26th June, they just need to know roughly what conditions are going to be in for the entire UK (or general regions) for entire weeks at a time. So a forecast of 'Mixed showers and spells of sunshine this week in SW England, with average temps no higher than 18 degrees' will tell them all they need to know. Same goes for bad weather and the utility companies - they just need to know when storms are more likely so they can get prepared. Farming is one of the few industries that needs very specific locational weather forecasts on a daily basis in order for it to function. I guess another is a related industry - fishing. I can't think of many others that are so weather dependent on a day to day basis. [/QUOTE]
