i Editor's Letter: Your feedback is in. And it's a frosty reception for i's Weather coverage

Amid hundreds of your letters about fashion, staples, grammar, the layout of puzzles, new recipes, a political fact-check service, science, better football coverage “especially about Leicester City” (Mick Gordon), rogue Americanisms, more news, unusual sports, a dating service, extra world news, and cartoons – all in response to last Friday’s Letter from the Editor asking what you like and dislike about i – an ugly front has opened against i’s Weather page. A major system is working its way around the page 44 region, with very strong winds showing no sign of abating... OK, I’ll stop.

“Those drawings take up too much room,” complains Andrea Wynne of Pudsey, West Yorkshire. Ian Walker – not the one who deputy edits our sister paper, the Evening Standard – calls them “useless pictograms” and demands more detail, including longer-range forecasts and a North Atlantic weather chart. i’s man in the Sou’wester is on the case.

Dr Mark Toy, of Romiley, Stockport, writes: “I read the letters first. Please have two full sides of them... I want to hear more of what housewives, bricklayers, nurses, engineers, etc think.” Keep them coming.
