Didn't someone on here only the other day say that the MO were predicting
a mild winter, even though they expected a negative NAO???

They a

and that link from the NAO page has been available for a few weeks now.

The ST's article, IMO, is just yet another example of the increasingly
sloppy journalism that is affecting it and its Daily equivalent over the
last few years. Once, they had a proper science correspondent who may have
taken the trouble to do 5 mins of his own research on the web and have found
the NAO article and the updated link to the newer forecast. The NAO
statistical forecast, has IIRC, been available since July, so it is hardly
'news' now. Probably 'leaked' or even sold to the ST from an organisation
who has since received an updated forecast based on the later information.
