The Met Office UK, IN PRAISE OF ITS ACCURATE WEATHER FORECASTS

The UK Met Office privides a continually reliably accurate service which we thoroughly recommend.

SORRY! 
I have to TOTALLY disagree entirely with James Delingpole in his harsh and TOTALLY unfounded criticism of the UK's Met. Office,

We always consult the Met. Office online, WE RELY ON IT! 100% for our living,

We have done so for years, having worked out many years ago that the BBC weather service is hopelessly, continually inaccurate, and constantly, grossly exagerates its weather forecasts - 
e.g. a risk of the odd shower is a deluge to the BBC, a little snow is a blizzard, etc. Their timings are frequently way out too! Why do they bother?

The Met Weather Online, however, is absolutely spot on correct, e.g. it predicted a shower, after a dry morning, in London, last weekend, to within 15 minutes! ALL THROUGH THE LAST FEW WINTERS, IT HAS BEEN BANG ON ACCURATE, EVERY DAY!
