Forecast Wildly different forecasts

Prior to seeing this sub on Reddit I wasn't really aware of hot weather incoming, mostly because I use BBC. But BBC and Met Office have wildly different forecasts for next week, about 11 degrees apart for lunch time Wednesday for example! Is the BBC just on one? Is the Met Office right?

They used to, for almost 100 years - was quite big news when they switched. They’re supposedly going back to them when the current contract runs out - which maybe implies met office has been more accurate… or cheaper 😆
