I thought it was well-known that consumer weather forecasting is almost always pessimistic.
Forecasting sun when it rains generates complaints; the other way around, not so much.
Personally, I prefer it when they give percentages (which I assume are still pessimistic). The Met Office appears to forecast "rain" on a "30%" chance of precipitation.

I assumed one should plan for the worst, but many liked to be reminded of bright days ahead. YMMV and different strokes and all that.
