Default -17c Armageddon

Given the zonal misery forecast for the rest of the month, I wonder
what Piers' excuse is ? Anyone who happens to email him, please let me
know what his response is.

I do hope for the sake of the public that this month's forecast is
thoroughly rinsed in glorious technicolour in various newspapers to
remind people that attempting to do accurate long-range forecasting
down to daily detail is a perilous process.

And I know I bang on about Piers but what has happened this month just
highlights just how hit and miss his lauded method (well, lauded by
Dennis Wheeler of Sunderland University) is and why it annoys me that
so many people in the tabloid-reading public (and beyond) are taken in
by such nonsense.

I think that'll be my last word on the subject.
