Weather Forecasts

HC Deb 22 February 1956 vol 549 c45W

97. Sir H. Linstead

asked the Postmaster-General what progress he has made with the plan to provide telephone weather forecasts for the London area.

Dr. Hill

This service will be available from Monday, 5th March. From then a record of a forecast made by the Meteorological Office may be heard by calling WEAther 2211. The forecast will relate to the weather in the London area. It will not replace the more extensive services that may be obtained from the Meteorological Office, London, on HOLborn 3434, or from the Meteorological Offices in other parts of the country.
