The Meteorological Office is to issue weather forecasts using percentages of likelihood of events, as in the US. They will no longer anticipate 'sunny spells'; instead they will state that there is a 'fifty percent chance of precipitation'.
I have always been bemused by the oft used phrase 'unsettled weather' because in the UK, when they use this term the weather is always completely settled and awful.
