after a good 30 years of technology and still every week i get excited of the the windy week ahead. Then i wake up in the morning and then check seabreeze only to find the wind is totally different. I think you should only show a 3 day forecast as it's to unpredictable. and people can have less expectations.

And sometimes, when hope is all you have, it's better to have hope than have nothing...

I find its the other way!

If the Burito says it will be windy,they are usually wrong.

If they say there will be no wind,they are usually right !

realistically though they are right more then they are wrong for the short term stuff. Obviously its virtually impossible to predict long term. But long term or short term they can predict it better then I could hands down. They do get it wrong a lot though. Wonder what the forecast accuracy will be like in 50 yrs. reminds me of that crude doco i watched last night, did anyone see that?
