[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 6008050, member: 83588"] From experience last year, the Met Office hasn't a clue about population centres or population densities in rural Devon, despite being based in Exeter. I desperately needed forecasts for my part of the county before and during the Beast from the East, but couldn't find anything for this parish or neighbouring - bit of a micro climate here. It really did look as their information is unattached to Real World weather stations and Ordinance Survey, and superimposed on google maps instead - which, at local level shows only non-farming businesses and some vague idea of settlements, which is as accurate for location as sticking a pin in an old paper Yellow Pages. That was their system for mobiles! Edit to add: No improvement noticed on the improved site. Same ridiculous locations offered - one's a beach, which is rather closer in altitude to sea level than here, and neither of the nearest places are settlements. [/QUOTE]
