I'm wondering if anyone is keeping a track of his forecast storms in
relation to the actual weather. I ask as this is the weekend of his 3rd
major storm when he is reported to have forecast (only a few days ago)
winds of up to 100mph.

Currently a W wind of 10mph here in the NW.

Mike, Corbyn's superstorm-forecast for this weekend kept us busy in Holland
as well (as a third of our dear nation is below sea-level) - all week
searching the weathermaps to find an abnormality that pinpointed in possibly
direction of some "wind". So was astonished when last Friday Corbyn told on
one of our weathersites that the Dutchies didn't understand his forecasting
too well. We simply had no clue of the English weatherjargon. A superstorm
is a "hurricane" BUT a "hurricane"is ermmm...... Okay, we're only foreigners
and our English isn't that good; hope you'll forgive us. At least I think to
understand this: if Corbyn talks about a "superstorm" he means a 5 to 6 Bft.
So a strong superstorm will be about 8 Bft? Well, got things right again.
Then your "storm" will have a 10mph. I'd call it a "mild storm" - but
what's in a name.
