How reliable is the BBC Weather data for Norfolk?

Why does the BBC Weather app sometimes show different rain times to the website?
Updates to the app and website can lag by 15–30 minutes after a new Met Office model run. For the most current hour-by-hour view, refresh the page or check the Met Office directly.
Is the BBC Weather forecast free to use in the UK?
Yes. The BBC Weather website and app are free, funded by the licence fee. No subscription or account is needed to view the 10-day forecast or local radar maps.
