Hi Peter,

What Screen Reader are you using?

I've just tried this with JFW v12, & the latest NVDA.  There's several tables 
that come up with weather information.  The first table gives the current day 
and the next 2 days.  It has 5 columns and 6 rows.  The next tbale has 9 
columns and 4 rows giving hourly conditions and temps + wind for the current 
day.  Finally there is a third table showing 13 columns and 11 rows showing 
average temps and stuff for months of the year.

I haven't tired Firefox v12, just Internet Explorer v9.

Regards,
Barry.

I used to use the BBC site quite happily, entering in my postcode and
bringing up a table with progressive reports through the day. The page seems
to have changed. I can find no table and only incomplete information and no
table.

Have tried 
    http://braille.wunderground.com

It is certainly easy to use but does not give an hour by hour breakdown like
the weather.co.uk site unless I missed an option. So I think I will stick
with the weather.co.uk site even though it is a bit more fiddly to use.
