Prohibit BBC forecasters from using positive or negative words for the weather.
On most weather forecasts the presenter will usually decide that warm sunny weather is 'gorgeous', 'wonderful' and so on, and cold weather, complete with rain or wind to be 'miserable', 'vile' or similar.
Some people find those descriptors inaccurate. Therefore the BBC should not use them.
On BBC Midlands Today, both Shefali Oza and Nick Owen recently used positive words for warm weather and negative ones for colder weather. This is possibly discriminatory to us that like a bit of drizzle and cannot stand any temperature above 10c.
