Terminology in forecasts
On BBC News 24 at 10 a.m. Susan Powell used terminology I haven't heard
before. She said that tonight the south will see some more 'heavy wintry flurries'. One of the meanings of 'flurry' in my dictionary is 'a light snowfall', so can we expect heavy light snowfalls?! I know TV presentation isn't an easy job, but .............. I despair :-( Norman. (delete "thisbit" twice to e-mail) -- Norman Lynagh Weather Consultancy Chalfont St Giles 85m a.s.l. England |

(delete "thisbit" twice to e-mail) Weather forecasts recently have lapsed into hyperbole, and the news is following along by reporting those events which although forecast did not really happen. Thus one can tune in to get a forecast of what will not happen, and then watch the news to see how bad it wasn't ... or so ... -- Gianna Stefani www.buchan-meteo.org.uk |

Terminology in forecasts
Norman, don't watch them, seriously. Not so long ago I used to look forward to
the weather forecast and now I honestly don't care if I don't see it. If it's on while I'm watching TV fine, I'll watch it, but I won't make an effort anymore, not even for the countryfile one.
