When are they ever going to get the forecast right,we went through enough in Christchurch just to get a very bad weather warning by the MET service that gale force winds and heavy rain was to hit our region by afternoon Sunday now it is Monday 11am and very warm with light winds.Go back to manning the Lighthouses and taking the weather conditions from ships at sea,As the satelite is all up the crap,and so many get trapped at sea and also in the mountain ranges because of such un reliable forecasts.Dont know why they have such flash weather forecasting on TV when there seems to be a waste of time money and lives.
