Met Office #FAIL
Friday, June 4th, 2010The Met Office is the UK’s official Weather Bureau. As with all such organisations, it has a spotty record of accuracy. Last year, in the spring, it predicted a “barbecue summer”. Unless your barbecue was under an awning, and you were wearing your parka, no barbecue summer was to be had in 2009.
The Met Office has an iPhone app, which is normally pretty good. This morning I looked at the app to determine what the temperature would be this afternoon—I wanted to know whether I could wear shorts when discharged or would have to dig out my jeans. I got an error window: “Unexpected error”. Besides the stupidity of that error message, I then pressed the button which normally delivers the 10-day forecasts. Nothing came up there either, so I went back to the main screen. The temperature was the only item which showed, and it read: 0 C. Quite a cold June this year.
Obviously they initialise the variable that holds the temperature to “0” rather than blanking it out until information is received from the connection. This bug doesn’t manifest itself until you navigate back to the main window from another window.
At least they themselves didn’t develop the app—Gorillabox.net did. I think they need an experienced tester.
