Put Jersey back on the weather map, BBC told
The BBC should bring an end to "forecast discrimination" by putting Jersey back on its weather map, the island's tourism authority said yesterday.
A petition has been launched in a campaign that is also calling for more accurate weather forecasts.
Jersey Tourism claims incorrect temperature predictions are causing local businesses to lose out on millions of pounds of revenue from missed visitors.
The island was only mentioned in 10 per cent of BBC weather forecasts in a month, according to research by Jersey Tourism.
And Jersey was given a temperature marker in only 30 per cent of forecasts.
