Weather snippet

Why is it that every time there is a forecast of weather doom and gloom, they are ALWAYS without exception associated with James Madden?

The met office made an announce yesterday (I think) saying that between now and the new year there would be a succession of storm fronts crossing the Atlantic, and hitting the UK and that these would bring wet and windy weather, but that temperatures would remain warm (for the time of year), but that in the new year colder snaps can be expected (Really!!).

So once again no comparison between James Madden and the Met Office.

So whenever I see his name, I just tend to ignore the article completely, he's been at it for years, but I suppose one day he may get it right.........

As for the new Met Office Cray SuperComputer, the announcement was that they had placed an order, it will be another 3 or 4 years before it even gets installed, then they will have to calibrate it and get it working their software etc, which could take how long???

Just double checked Dev is right, the new computer wont be up and running for another year, so we need to rely on Michael Fish a bit longer

I wouldn't rely on anything you read in the express, they are FIXATED on the weather.

[NorthernRaider]

This is ENGLAND we are supposed to be fixated on the weather

I do a weather forecast every time I go out the front door and mine is more accurate than any weather forecaster, I can even SMELL rain and I can tell when snow is coming, I couldn't do that when I lived in a city, too much pollution.
