'A significant storm is likely mid-month'.

Nice and vague as usual. What kind of storm, gales,
blizzards, heavy rain? And where in the country?
Not to mention no definition of what is meant by
'mid month'.

This one is so vague that he will claim 'victory'
out of just about anything, and that's the way Corbyn likes it.

Younger brother Jeremy has been an MP since 1983.

I can't help feeling sorry for the Corby parents - two sons with
ambitions to be economical with the truth.

Sorry, that's not fair on Corby jnr. Politicians are ALWAYS
scrupulously straight talking aren't they? Well aren't they? I hang
on their every word.

Mind you, I guess I'm calling the kettle black. Older son is at
University studying politics. Younger son is at sixth form college
studying......politics.
So be warned. Watch out for the Harrison con men in the coming
decades:-)

Yes indeed, I'd say that all storms are significant. As for 'mid
month', well that could mean anything in the Corbynish language from
the 5th to the 25th.

We'd do better using climatology (again) and that's free.

Lord knows why Mr Corbyn doesn't predict mild conditions,
he'd be on safe ground. Mind you, no media interest in that.
Doubtless a dumping of Snow on the Highlands, and 50mm
rain in the Western Isles sometime mid month (ish) along
with a few severe weather warnings from the Met Office will
be enough for Mr Corbyn to claim 90% accuracy.
He even manages to claim partial success for January.

Whilst his full "forecast" isn't available above, he does do it for the
Netherlands.

http://www.lowefo.com/pdf/Forecast_F...etherlands.pdf

He's already admitting his forecast for the first six days of February was
wrong.

" The forecast for the weather period 1-6.2 was unsuccessful. We have found
maps for the look-back periods, which extend further East than the ones we
have been using. We hope that these shall enable us to make better
forecasts for the Netherlands in future."

Well, I did say that February would be dominated by high pressure, but that is
just "traditional meteorology" and none of this 'solar factor' stuff.

Someone on a TV program the other day said the forecasting of solar activity
was much less accurate than forecasting the weather. I wonder how PC
tackles this problem?

Yes indeed you did Will and my reference to doing better by using
climatology was of course relative to Corbyn's discredited (as far as
I'm concerned) solar methods.

Is it my imagination or do we get almost exactly the opposite of what
he predicts?

He's now decided to give alternative scenarios. His forecast for February
was updated on the 17th using his latest technique - SWT 24 d. This
updated pdf file even contains a forecast "weather map":-)
