Yes Prime weather at 5:55pm, last two days, annd Sky 90 which is Aussie News {ABC?} and features the same weather presentation as Prime does from time to time, definately an old loop.
Showed a nice CVA max crossing the lower Sth Island from W to E, about a week or more ago, could not be more different from the current situation. Just careless of somebody, either the suppliers of the info or the channel themselves.

The forecast is produced in Australia by Met people who also produce for Sky Australia then sent here to be incorporated in the news,Graphics scripts etc. I would think there was a little muck up with Graphics. Probably a naming issue and the old gfx was accidently used. I just got off the phone from the. :-w
