Raw weather or just a raw deal?

Mark Twain said it was always best to read the weather forecast before praying for "good" weather.

I wonder though what he'd have made of BBC radio newsreaders telling us today to expect "raw" weather.

No wonder Aled Jones did a double take: "Raw??!?".

Consult your dictionaries, please, Aled and everybody. It means inclement, or just plain bloody awful.
