Results

From the above, the BBC weather reports are fairly accurate with near enough predictions for each day. Though some details were inaccurate, it was only inaccurate by a few degrees. However, had the service been paid for, i feel there would be little change in accuracy as you can't always predict the weather 100% so paying for this service wouldn't make much of a difference.
