MSP forecasts better reports

Midlothian North and Musselburgh MSP Colin Beattie has welcomed news the Met Office is to deliver specified reports for Lothian and Borders.

Mr Beattie contacted the Met Office with concerns over the current forecasting system which combines South West Scotland and Lothian and Borders together.

He said: “This will provide more accurate weather reporting. After the storms of last winter, I believe it is essential that people receive the clearest weather reports for their area.”
