Has a faulty forecast cost you a fortune?

The One Show Team|13:15 UK time, Tuesday, 2 June 2009

For The One Show, Tim Harford has been looking at the power of the weather forecast and its effect on the British economy.

For example, Bournemouth's tourism chief has blamed the Met Office's "inaccurate" forecast of thundery showers for poor trade on Bank Holiday Monday. He's said that the resort's seven-mile stretch of beaches lost 25,000 visitors as a result.

We've all got a weather tale - so share yours here. Has a faulty forecast cost you a fortune? Or maybe you've benefited when the weather forecasters got it wrong? Share your story here.
