Television Forecast Feedback


Ever wanted to grumble about graphics which don't match the script? Poor forecasts occuring with alarming regularity? Poor graphics? Poor scheduling? Insufficient broadcast time? A presenter who just doesn't have a clue?

Or how about praising forecasters for once, such as for handling a very difficult situation well?

Whatever you'd like to say, here's your chance. Links are provided to the Channels' (or programmes') web site with an e-mail address. The e-mail address is likely to be the Duty Office or similar, which will deal with all enquiries - so please use an appropriate subject line. The forecast provider is also given, along with a link to their web site (if available) and an e-mail address.

Things to remember about television forecasts:
(1) Gripes or praise should be directed to the television company and not the forecast provider, for it is the television company who are paying for the forecast! Forecast provider links are given for information only.
(2) The television presenter is not necessarily the forecaster - and the forecaster may not necessarily be professionally qualified.
(3) The forecast may not be a live broadcast and may have even been recorded long before it is transmitted.


Forecast Provider abbreviations:
IWP: International Weather Productions (part of the United Kingdom Meteorological Office)
UKMO: United Kingdom Meteorological Office
WC: Weather Centre (regional weather centres, part of the United Kingdom Meteorological Office)

Wherever possible, telephone numbers are given where e-mail addresses are not available.
