1) Less than one third of the release related to the summer forecast.
2) Forecasts of global annual mean are not relevant to the 'summer' forecast.
3) A high probability of exceeding the average ... how high is high?
4) Only 1 in 8 chance of being 'similar' to 2003 and 2006.
5) Where is the forecast for? The UK or England?
6) At my location, it would need to be similar to 03 and 06 to be similar to 04
and 05.

On a scale of one to tosh, I rate the 100 words spent on the forecast as tosh.

The update on May 1 may contain a forecast.

3) A high probability of exceeding the average ... how high is high?
'At least 70 %' it says.

5) Where is the forecast for? The UK or England?
For the mean temps - 'Western Europe including the UK' it says
For an exceptionally hot summer - 'across the UK' it says.

So what?
How much detail do you want for a seasonal forecast?

2) Forecasts of global annual mean are not relevant to the 'summer'
forecast.

That was mentioned in the 'background' section. So it was 'setting the
scene' if you like of a high chance of a warm summer here in the
context of generelly rising tempertures globally.

3) A high probability of exceeding the average ... how high is high?

At least 70%.

4) Only 1 in 8 chance of being 'similar' to 2003 and 2006.

And?
It's a probability forecast. The best thing to do for seasonal
forecasts. You can't expect them to commit themselves one way or
another at this range.

5) Where is the forecast for? The UK or England?

The UK. It says so in the 'background' section.

6) At my location, it would need to be similar to 03 and 06 to be similar
to 04 and 05.

On a scale of one to tosh, I rate the 100 words spent on the forecast as
tosh.

I suggest you read things properly before coming to the conclusion
they are 'tosh'.

If you are suggesting a spelling error in the name, it appears not to
be one.

See http://www.zahidmubarekinquiry.org.u...c=520&aid=3791

A search on her name in Google produces many other hits.

I was drawing attention to the name, though not to any possible
mis-spelling. I just wondered what sort of name it was. If it is
this person's (haven't a clue which sex it is) given name, what
sort of parents does he or she have? Or, if it's a pet name, it
should have no place in serious discourse.

ObUSW:
12 of the last 13 summers have had a mean temperature
above the 1971-2000 average (as measured by the CET, and,
yes, I know the press release uses a different series, but it's
unlikely to be much different). The last one below was in 1998
and then by only a fraction of a degree. I really don't see much
value, during a warming régime, of using an average period
whose mid-point was 22 years ago to make a point in a
press release. It's as if they want the media to spin it into
"Britain set to swelter through another long hot summer".

I have encountered one or two Patricias who were known as Tish.
I agree with you about its inappropriateness, Philip.
