The Met Office app / website doesn’t give 0% probabilities, the lowest is <5%. Also, predicting that the world will be warmer in 50 years if we continue to pollute the atmosphere is very different to predicting where showers will develop in two hours time.
Six hours ago @metoffice forecast for rain in my area was 0% probability, from models developed over 50yrs on some of the largest computers. It’s now been raining for 2hrs. Climatologists use same processes & similar models to claim accurate climate predictions in 50yrs time.
