Those of us who use MF may have noticed recently as I have. the disjointed and slightly odd forecasts of temperatures. Examples include the 7 day forecast not matching the daily forecast and the 15 day not agreeing with thre 7 day forecast. There could be a reason for this:- “Staff at Météo-France will go on strike this week, claiming ‘absurd mistakes’ are being accelerated by loss of human oversight” “Since Nov 13, weather forecast data models have been crunched together via an algorithm and then directly sent to Météo-France’s internet site or mobile application. The software that has led to the strike has predicted that the eastern city of Strasbourg will hit a baking 28C on Dec 9 despite it currently experiencing freezing temperatures” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/12/04/algorithm-replaced-weather-forecasters-december-heatwave/ Before the time of storm Ciaran I started using ventusky.com and have found it very accurate as regards local actual and forecast temperature. You get temps, winds direction/strength, baro pressures for your location and loads more. Meteo is basically not worth using a the moment.
