Met Office

Although to do more with Met Office than the weather, I hate the fact that, when wanting to view the more recent weather, it may not show your actual city - more likely the area near it.

E.g. (in my case), I want to view Exeter's recent weather but instead of Exeter, Dunkeswell is shown (which is NE of Exeter - Honiton area). I understand that it is the closest to Exeter but it's not Exeter's weather, it's Honiton's!

Do any of you have similar experiences and hate this?

Are you suggesting the Government increase funding to the Meteorological Office so that they can have a greater number of weather observation sites?

I think it is not cost effective for there to be an increased tax burden on the public just to enable us to review past weather in greater detail.
Be realistic, Jazzmanrules! It's hardly a million miles away, is it? I'm sure that if you google for Exeter's weather, you'll find that someone has a site that will help you. If not, and you are that interested, then start your own!

As if I'm able to create a weather station Snowy - I don't have the resources or the time!! Also, the weather is not what we experienced from Dunkeswell in the recent weather (which takes place of Exeter's weather!!!)
And Kempie - I'm not suggesting this; not in any circumstances - obviously it's not cost effective!!)
Click here for the BBC's 5-day forecast for Exeter. You mention 'recent' weather, so presumably you want to 'look back', but - with a daily glance - you could build up your own weather-record.
The BBC weather information is supplied by the Met Office.

QM's link gives weather information as collected by the "nearest weather observation station" to Exeter i.e. Dunkeswell.
