It's today. Or, at least, it starts at lunchtime. The BBC's new weather graphics system, from MeteoGroup, finally reaches our tv screens ten months late, during the 1 O'Clock bulletin. There's still no word of explanation from project director Liz Howell for the delay. I'm sure the National Audit Office will eventually be able to explain why BBC News has been paying two contractors for one weather service for the best part of a year.
