The problem is that we have forntal weather here the majority of the time, and whilst it is possible to predict what is going to happen it is almost impossible to predict where and when because the warm fronts that come from the Southwest off the Atlantic vary in speed and direction. The UK met office do use radar, but I don't know what type. Was the fly-in at Popham good this year? I was hoping to go myself but other things got in the way, not least the weather!

You folks in the US really have it made when it comes to weather prediction. A day or two out you can be pretty confident that the forecast will be pretty close, but here in the UK, they really have no idea. Twenty four hours is a total crap shoot, and it's beyond me why they even attempt to predict a week in advance.
