Weather forecasts

I have deleted the "My weather" link on the left hand side of the page - for two reasons.
1) It seems to be not working most of the time and
2) Even when it is working, it always says the same thing (this is not the same as number 1)

I recently discussed weather forecasts with an Indonesian - the first difficulty was communicating the obsession that Western Europeans have with the weather and our interest in forecasts. Why do you need a forecast when the weather is the same today as it was yesterday and tomorrow will be the same again ? I found it difficult to explain that people at home will sit down and watch the television or turn on the radio specifically to find out what the weather will be like later today or tomorrow or at the weekend.

The only difference is the rain - it might rain today (less likely now as we enter the dry season) or it might not. Regardless of whether it rains or not, it will be hot - over 40 degrees in the sun if it is a clear day and about 35 degrees if it is a cool day, what is there to forecast ?

Anyway, they're usually wrong, aren't they ?
