I like the idea of a rainy morning, followed by the sun coming out and a mass sprint of hundreds of parkers and wardens to see who can be first back to the parking metres

Seems a good idea to me, would encourage more to come to the city in winter/poor weather with cheaper parking; and in the summer when car parks are full and queing would gain more revenue.

Even the Albion thought of simalar with the dynamic pricing for tickets, aka cheaper tickets for mid week winter games against lesser oppoisition.

Nutty idea. One I would have expected from the Greens rather than the Tories. The weather forecast is rarely accurate - I watch the BBC forecast on the web and it changes the closer you get to the day in question. Why not just reduce the charges full stop.

When its chucking it down and howling a gale outside, who is really going to suggest to their family: "Lets go to Brighton because its cheap to park today"?

What a Load of Rubbish.....Impossible to police and how, Will Meters have two pay slots one for wet and one for dry weather and who will decide how wet it needs to be ...And as others have said rainy till ten, Sunny hot from Midday what happens then ...Surely an April fool story couple of days early...
