Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks. The met. agency here uses essentially a similar kind of "relativistic" scale in the descriptive part of its temperature forecasting. The MetService website report on current conditions in the towns covered cites actual temperature, "feels like" temperature, and a clothing layers suggestion. I think that's fairly useful. But no system can ever hope to make sense to all, given the large range of human physiological responses possible, IMO. For me "showers" occur in situations where there is (a) intermittency - gaps between rainfalls, as well as variations in the cloud cover or cloud thickness; (b) Some convective activity. A rather marginal case here would be if a cold southerly airflow is delivering mainly overcast skies with fairly limited convective activity and "passing showers" with not much lightening of the skies during the breaks. If I can figure out from local knowledge plus forecast when it will/won't rain, (and an idea of intensity of any rain) as well as when any sunny part of the day is expected, I'm happy to ignore any deficiencies in the forecasting accuracy. |

Obviously this is not a question for the very hardy (or whatever description you can think of) like Norman or Philip Eden or several other lurkers on this group, but when does 'cool' become 'cold ',fresher become bleeding freezing,and 'changeable' become downright 'orrible ?. All these terms are freely babbled out by the army of 'forecasters' we are blessed with on TV and radio presumably at the behest of the Exeter gurus who decide what is relevant or not depending on the current fashion,like at the moment letting presenters put their own personal opinions instead of historical facts Yes. it probably is me ..... RonB Depends who's sponsoring the weather forecast. On the independent channels backers like Powergen are going the say colder rather than cooler as they want to imbue a sense of the need to keep warm and use more energy. With the Meto and via the BBC, they are sponsored by AGW and always exaggerate to instil the feeling that the planet is warming uncontrollably. |

Take no notice of Adam as he's a eco fascist That's a new one on me? -- Regards, Paul Hyett Paul, Ecofascist has been around for a while but your reply has stimulated me into finding out what it means. There is an entry in Wikipedia for Ecofascism so it must have arrived! There are two entries in the Urban Dictionary: One for "eco-fascist" http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...rm=eco-fascist A person who uses the unsubstantiated beliefs and sentiments of environmentalism to impose their political will onto the scientifically illiterate public to inflate their megalomanic sense of power. Usually at the public's detriment. .... Al Gore is one of the most notable and dogmatic eco-fascists for preaching his prophecy of "Truth" for his own self-agrandizement and his obvious agenda of demonizing the oil barons that defeated his political aspirations to the US Presidency, which he clearly felt entitled to. and another for "ecofascist" http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...erm=ecofascist The belief that the life of a wombat or a mosquito is more valuable than that of a human, and the willingness to hold a gun to the head of anyone who disagrees. I think that either definition would make the term off topic for this newsgroup :-) Cheers, Alastair. |
