One asset is that Metcheck shows (by default) 48 hours from the current time in 3 hour chunks. So at 9am it shows all weather until 9am two days later. The BBC Weather does have today, tomorrow and the day after, but all couched in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight. This means that max and min temperatures are always quoted in the midnight to midnight range. The 24 hour forecast (when I found it!) shows 8 three hour chunks. Weather happens continuously, so I have never understood the max/min within 24 hours forecasts. Metcheck has animated symbols, which I like personally.

SVG weather feeds: who to ask? Who at the BBC publishes the weather feeds? Is there a good reason the SVG icons are not linked within the feed? regards Jonathan Chetwynd - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

I think you will find that they are produced by HM Govermenet's Department of Defence of which the Meterological Office is a part.

RE: [backstage] who to ask: SVG in weather feeds?
Hello there, 'Tis I. We don't have any SVG icons. Do you mean the gif images of weather symbols used on the 5 day forecast pages? Feel free to contact me off list with your answer...I doubt this conversation is of general interest to the list. As for the descrepancy between symbols and labels on the feed, I will investigate.
