The BBC weather forecast site is changing. Click the image below to visit it. Have a look at the current page, and then click the Weather Beta button on the top left.
Your homework is to comment on the redesign. For example:
- Do you find it easy to use? (e.g. try looking up Taunton on both versions)
- Is there enough information?
- Is the new design attractive and well designed?
Post a comment below with your views. Use your first name and the first letter of your surname to identify yourself – so that I can see who’s done the homework (and who will be doing it in Opportunities Club!)
Your comments will be seen by other teachers and the BBC, so write clearly and politely. I’ll delete any comments written in txt.

very attractive to use. The pictures make it easier to see exactly what it means. I think it would help people to learn more about geography if it had the wind charts and isobars.
On the bit where you find the names on the list they need an easier way to find your town, like type the first letter of your town and it takes you to those letters automatically.

i think it is cool but the colour is alright. i am a bit annoyed because the don’t show the isobars that were on the old website..

i think you should add isobars to show the air pressure
in conclusion i think the old website is better

Hey ;]
I think the new website is better ;]
the weather thing… is cool!
it would be easier if you could zoom in and see the weather for parts of towns,
( You need amazing people to forecast it… but… This is the government were talking about! )
If you could see the weather for your street it would be amazing!

The new site was alright but it seriously needs a better colour sceme! But i supose that the old one didnt have the best colour sceme either! Also, i couldn’t find the isobars anywhere!

I think the new site looks great alough the colour isnt the best it could be it is really easy to find your way around the only down side is that you dont get to see the isobars.

It is good but I find it hard to use. There is not enough info on the weather in Wellington and Taunton.

The new design has good colour and was easy to use but it didn’t contain isobers unlike the old version

i think the new one is better,it is more clearer to understand and look at and it is eye catching
it would be more better if there were some iso bars init:P
