It all depends how wrong - if we're talking Michael-Fish-in-1987 wrong, then definitely, YES

More like,

The weather will be variable with the chance of rain later, with winds possibly becoming moderate to strong later.

about as much use as a fart in a paper bag.

right, this is really petty but it bugs me so I'm going to share it.

On the BBC radio 4 weather recently there has been a tendency to end the weather report with "... and that's your weather". Why is it my weather? Why won't the forecaster share it? Do they all really know where the good weather is, and go there, leaving us poor schmucks to get cold, wet and miserable? Oh yes, I can see it now, there is "weather forecaster only" beach somewhere that the sun always shines and there is a lovely cooling breeze, and no doubt it's got a free bar too.

oops, lost myself in an anti-meterologist rant then.

Anyway, surely it's "the weather" not "your weather". Or to wind up apostrophe pedants ... "you're weather"

You don’t need to be good at swimming to save lives.
