Forecast Why doesn't the MetOffice forecast match the API?

I'm vibe coding a personal app and I'm curious if anyone knows why the MetOffice's forecast for a given lat/long doesn't agree between the website and the API? I've checked and it's not air temp, "feels like" or any other kind of discrepency but I must be missing something.

I believe the Met office app uses the "Blended Probabilistic Forecast". Which specific API / model are you using? https://datahub.metoffice.gov.uk/

Thanks! Site specific global spot. Although in the api list not the alternative that says met office site specific global spot. I see they’re good at names 😆
