yeah apple predicting a wash out. might just delete the app

but in all seriousness, it's because their icon system will just pick up on the one hour during that day with the highest chance of rain

How is my iPhone app forecast so different from BBC prediction?

Fairly sure Apple just make it up. It’s wrong more than it’s right. Which in this case is great news.

Yep, me too!

Apple will be doing what the Beeb were doing earlier - there's a small window of rain on a certain day and they report that as the overall weather for the day. If you could get the detail on their app it would probably line up with others.

They're still predicting the same % chance of rainfall though, they've just changed the image 😂 It's still saying the same thing, they're just toying with us.

Right I'm trusting the beeb and if they're wrong will not be paying my license fee

If they are right I’ll start paying it😀

I'm just putting faith in the super detailed Outlook forecast

Perfect.

Have been E19 for nearly 3 hours now - it is far too warm.  Needs to cool down a bit. 😂

Anyone with an iPhone lives permanently under a dark cloud.

I'm still toying with the thought of buying/wearing wellies, and I am now feeling the high pressure of not deciding. I hate wellies (and walking boots), but muddy soggy trainers are probably just as bad.

Is it wise to be a chancer and just take trainers, or am I being stupid?

Wellies are shite, good boots are a god send

Gonna sound stupid - at this point does that basically translate to throughout x time period there could be a shower, or throughout x time period it’s virtually not gonna stop raining? 24% is quite likely right?

Years of reading forecasts for the cricket tells me when you see this it basically means there'll be some light rain/showers, they just aren't sure when. So hedge their bets. Say it rains at 2pm that day, they'll then update and say its clear for the rest of the day.

We'll be grand

Forecasts collapsing left right and centre. Game over. 

[EFC1996]

I’ve waited too long for this I’m not gunna let a bit of rain or mud ruin my time !

[Sam92599259]

This has been an amazing journey to read guys, the plot twists have been on point.

But unless you get bogged (pun intended) down in the details, essentially we're gonna be fine aren't we.

Hard to beat a perfect burger but a pizza is always edible.
