BBC gets new weather charts

[Guest mike-oh]

For those of you who've had your ears and eyes peeled you'll know that the BBC is getting a new 3D (no were not talking wearing silly glasses or holograms) weather forecast presentinginging system.

You can take a look at a few examples of it being trialed here

I very much hope (and think) these are the early stages of testing because i don't like;

The fact it looks like sky news,

It's "3D" yet lacking topographic relief,

What's with the beige?! We need shaded maps,

Square temp thingys, i prefer round ones,

Next to no data like wind, isobars etc.

Anyhow, time will tell, probably they'll impliment it tomorrow (Monday).

Discuss!

;) Is this a blatent attempt to get rid of those last 11 pesky posts and get you to 1000? We're discussing weather charts now?? ;)

Actually no, i like weather forecasts, our local weather man is a legend! So the graphics are all important!

And when the controversy starts don't say i didn't warn you!

I used to like that big floating UK map they had on morning television to do the weather on. Remember?

[Guest mike-oh]

Oh yes, and we all remember the famous streaking incedent i'm sure. ;)
