Now, I'm certainly no weather expert, but:

"Mr Corbyn said the new storms were being caused by unusual activity on the
Sun, which he said influences the Earth's weather patterns. He explained:
"We are seeing extra magnetic activity from the Sun and extra particles in
the solar wind."

"The strength of the Earth's magnetic connection with the Sun determines our
weather to a large extent, so we will see solar storms mirrored here on
Earth."

Piers Corbyn, director of Weather Action long-range forecasters, said the
new storms would eclipse last weekend’s hurricanes, which were described by
the Met Office as the worst for nearly 20 years.

There should be laws against printing stuff like this.

I find this kind of journalism abhorent. There will be pensioners and
vulnerable people worried sick because of what they've seen on the
front of this 'newspaper'. It's even worse than the Daily Mail, and
that's saying something.There are so many factual innacuracies in that
story that it's not fit to wipe your arse with.

Can this type of thing not be legislated against?

If the Express cry wolf too often the public will start to ignore 'real'
warnings....

stuff snipped

I suspect two words were omitted from the first line of The Express
story. They change the way the whole piece reads. I have inserted
them below .....

" BRITAIN is facing a terrible winter with the worst storms for
decades, so-called experts warned last night."

Did you spot them?

I caught somebody at work today spreading rumours of these
killer gales/blizzards. As I usually do in these situations I quiz
them as to exactly where they heard the story.
He rather sheepishly replied - I saw it on the telly this
morning, they were reviewing the papers......
