I'd have thought the BBC website maintainers would have noticed that the Weather site (as linked to from the news.bbc.co.uk front page) is broken. And has been, not for hours, not even for days, but for weeks!

I've given up and gone to the met office instead.

Oh, and it fails in exactly the same place in IE (source not completing) and no other page I've come across fails.

The interesting thing was that before it stopped working, it was flaky as seen from work and home. I've not tried accessing from home since, but it's possible that the work firewall is objecting to something immediately after the bit shown.

Which is a link to a message board where you can discuss Da Wevva.

I really can't see anything there that looks dodgy (now on the home machine, which can see it fine now).

I wonder if something at the BBC end might be aborting the transmission when it sees our work address coming in.
