Fascinating.

Look North (Newcastle) have used it for a while now.

South Today use it too. Of course it was designed entirely for us down here.
Never before has the south coast of the UK appeared with such clarity on a BBC
weather map, and the BBC South region is the perfect shape to reproduce in a
16:9 image. Even the colour of the land is now accurate, as I'm sure you
already know from media reports we've had no rain down here since about 1972.

Maybe this was an accurate depiction of the weather in prospect :-)

Arrh but Look North (Yorks) have a 'small weatherman' who dresses up in
bright coloured outfits to make up for the mucky coloured maps, so all is
not lost! And they also have a nice lady called Doris. Oh and lets not
forget Harry!

And don't forget that The Midget Metman/The Weeny Weather
Watcher/Small Paul (all nicknames from his days on Radio Leeds) does,
unusually and at the risk of beheading, still show the isobaric maps
which often tell much more than this stupid, dumbed-down,
sick-inducing, flying-eye brown muck!

And nice to see he always makes a point of it in a "yes I don't like the new
look either I'm a proper weatherman" kind of way.
Didn't it freeze on him at lunch the other day (tues) from the Yorkshire
show?

Paul also added *isobars* and *fronts* to the mucky coloured map. :-(

Welcome to the new world of dumbed down BBC weather then.
Gone are all those details like isobars, fronts, temperature gradiants, wind
speeds, atlantic charts or anything else that was useful.
Hope you enjoy the nauseus fly-around to waste valuable time, although that
may only be on the national version.

Now the weather is so simple, it's dark or light brown or raining, what
could be easier ? ;O)

Why do they need weather forecast up north?
Surely all they have to say is "It will probably be raining" :-)
