Interesting... however, I can't help wondering if a similar "success"
could have been obtained by studying the climatology, given that his
forecasts cover 5 to 6 day periods and he has forecast three stormy
periods within about a month.

In the period from October 26 to November 28 inclusive (34 days), his
"stormy" forecasts encompassed 16 days - almost 50%. I suspect that
many of us could hit the target at least once if we did what he did
and issued a similar type of forecast (surprise surprise he forecast
the highest winds in Scotland). I remain highly sceptical.

Do the press releases ever give lottery numbers for any particular
draw?
