Met Office considers using regional slang

It might be "chucking it down" in Leeds and Newcastle, but it is "bucketing" in the Black Country.

That is according to research for the Met Office, as it considers introducing regional terms to weather forecasts.

A survey of 2,000 people in January found a variety of slang words were used to describe UK weather.

The Met Office said regions tended to interpret the same information differently and using regional slang could help people's understanding.

As the Two Ronnies once said, it'll be dry in Rye, cool in Goole, and if you live in Lissingdown, take an umbrella. :unsure2:
