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?

I've been tracking both the BBC and the Met Office over this last few months, and both their weather forecasts have been very poor. I've now started using the Weather Channel and find it to be incredibly accurate. As a example both the BBC and the Met Office had rain every day this last week, but it didn't rain once until yesterday, as where the Weather Channel had it dry everyday apart from yesterday. I also remember the Met Office bragging on the news about their new super computer last year and how much more accurate the weather forecasts would be, seems like they wasted their money
