"ever" is a very strong word but I agreed 26.5C is highly unlikely.
That's a good 10 degrees above what they are at the moment. If such a
change occured I think we'd have a lot more to worry about than a real
hurricane hitting the UK.

Additionally, I thought we were always being targeted by ex
tropical storms and ex hurricanes, nothing new there what-so-ever.

Yep, the "expert" doesn't seem to make the distinction between a real
hurricane and ex-ones. I must make a composite of a sat pic of a
hurricane, superimpose the coastline of the UK and put on some broad
wind contours. Add a bit of explanatory text about the wind speeds and
what is normal for the UK as a comparison. That would really put these
massive storms into perspective.

Who the hell writes this cods wallop!!!

Donno but remind me never to believe anything that that company
produces! Grabs the headlines though and 99% of the population will
believe it. B-(
