    Hi,

    I'm probably blind, but I can't see my entries? I've entered all except December.

    Thanks

    It is an Excel quirk (more details below). Your username "February 1978" defaults to 28522.

    You are 11th in seasonal comp and 18th overall and 6th in April.
    I'll change the format to put your name to February 1978 in future, as shown below.

    Thank you for continuing to compete

    Revised PDF

    April 2020 v2.pdf

    More on Excel quirk -

    Each date in Excel is converted to a number as per below, each cumulative day since 1st January 1900.
    So the username February1978 was converted into a number based on the date 1st February 1978.

    Favourite current BBC weather presenters?

    Aye, I used to watch the BBC forecasts regularly between 1993 and 2002 but got put off by a progressive "dumbing down" in the early '00s and then the graphics change.  I do remember that the BBC forecasts went through a phase of being more to my taste again around 2012-2016, particularly Peter Gibbs's Countryfile forecasts, but in the last few years I haven't kept up with the BBC forecasts at all, relying almost entirely on online resources from Netweather, Wetterzentrale and the Met Office, so I don't really feel qualified to give a strong opinion on favourite current presenters.  I don't know Alina Jenkins either, but I did come across Tomasz Schafernaker, Carol Kirkwood and Sarah Keith-Lucas a few times in the early 2010s.

    I used to swear by the BBC forecast but since the latest change to MeteoGroup. I feel the accuracy of the forecast has dropped and the the graphics used on National Forecasts are much smaller than they used to be and often hidden by city names.

    I much prefer the Met Office video forecasts, and even the ITV ones, again based on Met Office forecasts.
