OK, so apart from the small issue of long term forecasts getting less reliable over the last 20 years (at least, so it seems), I have a problem with the BBC’s weather charts on the Web. They used to be easy to understand, but apparently someone decided they were too complicated, so now you cannot see the temperature on the same chart as ‘general’ and, to make matters worse, this is the key to explain the colour codes used:
So, tell me, is that white bit over there (imagine I am pointing at a map) light snow? Heavy snow? light fog? Heavy fog? Light frost? The slightly bluish bit – is that frost or light rain?
The charts it shows have grey areas… heaven only knows what those are.
Have I gone completely colour blind or something? Who designed this visualisation? Have they been shot yet? If not, why not?
