Seems to me this is fair journalism. If it is good meteorology will have
to wait.

Nick OK. We are now getting down to what is reasonable. And the above
certainly is. Whether it is 'Fair journalism' will depend on what data
they were given and how they interpreted it. This is what I am trying
to find out.
The outcome IMO is misleading the public reading a 'quality' newspaper.
Cheers
