Sounds to me as if the media have taken the forecast for the UK and combined
it with the forecast for Europe and ended up with a colder than average
winter. It is however, interesting to note that Joe *******i, has also been
hinting on a colder than average winter, so who knows? Anything is possible!

As Graham said recently, 80% chance this winter will be warmer than
normal. H. H. Lamb used the 7/10 rule, whatever the season before, the
following season will be similar in terms of temperature in 7/10 cases
until the cycle is broken.

So we can say 80%, or not, once we know what autumn 2005 was like.
