Where do Google get their Weather Forecasts from?

Where do Google get their weather forecasts from? They show wonderful sunshine for where we live in UK but the reality is gloom and rain!|||The Yahoo offices in London have a bit of seaweed nailed to the wall outside of the regional director's window. When the seaweed is wet, he knows it's raining. When the seaweed is dry, it's fine. If he can't see it, it's foggy - or the Weather Channel has nicked it.|||Got to be London hasn't it?





All national weather presenters say things like "we can expect", when they really mean "in London it will be. All people in London seem to think the country drops into a sharp 90 degree angle into the sea after Watford, and Scotland is a separate island. Those of us in between, well, we don't exist!! Hence they ignore the giant rain clouds on the north of the map, and just point to London saying, here in the UK we can expect....etc, etc, blah.





Scotland can be under seven foot of snow, the Lake district can be flooded to the point of madness, York can be underwater, but today it is mainly dry apparently!
