The new BBC Weather site, nearly but not quite

conceived

A couple of weeks ago the BBC launched a–much needed–complete redesign of their Weather site. It's great, a million miles from the one that it replaced. All apart from one thing.

BBC UK Weather for 10th December 2011

Above is the forecast map for St Andrews tomorrow, notice the one thing you can't see? Yup, the weather for St Andrews and it's vicinity for tomorrow. And the local map is little better:

BBC Weather local map centred on Balmerino for 10th December 2011

When not frustrating, perhaps it's humbling that even the people behind the biggest UK website get it so wrong sometimes.

Hopefully they'll sort this map labeling overlay problem in updates soon, but until then I'll keep searching for Balmerino when I want to know the weather in St Andrews.

Update 16th December: They fixed it, yay!
