Piers Corbyn's 'Solar Weather Technique'


The last astrology prediction for the UK.


(Nov 11 2006)
Piers Corbyn, managing director of long-term forecasters Weather Action,
predicted Arctic air blasting across the whole country towards the close
of the month.


He said temperatures will sink as low as -14 C in exposed Highland
locations, with the rest of the country experiencing hard frosts and
heavy snow showers.


Mr Corbyn said: "There will be some notably cold and snowy parts. Coming
after such a mild October these conditions will feel especially cold."


The notion that Nov 28
is adequate sample for "towards the end of November" as you put it, even
if everything else you say is accurate, seems silly on its face.


Really. How nice.

"20th to 30th: Low pressure dominated the weather and there were frequent
spells of heavy rain or showers accompanied by strong to gale-force winds.
There were brighter interludes on the 24th and 26th, while on the 25th, a
tornado was reported in Hampshire."


Doesn't sound much like Arctic air, with hard frosts and heavy snow
showers.


That's a big improvement, Phil. Glad you got better so quickly. How
come your first try was that one-day methodology instead of this much
more reasonable approach to the matter?


We barely had a winter in the UK for 2006. Corbyn is a laughing stock
here.
He would do probably better using chicken entrails or sea weed.

By the way, I'm happy to stipulate that the late November 2006
forecast was, as Corbyn himself characterized it soon thereafter, a
"failure". He also stated that it was the first major error in 13
months. That sounds much different than your claims. If you can
provide a comparable forecast failure of his in the 13 months prior to
that one, I'd very much like to hear of it.

In that same Dec 3, 2006 news release that forthrightly note the
forecast failure, BTW, Corbyn claimed his long-term forecasting using
Solar Weather Technique as having an accuracy rating of 85%. He


And if you believe that you will believe anything!
