See a summer forecast now? It's not "a hunch" it's a guess, or even
worse, a hope, that the guesser/hoper desperately wants to come true
to bolster their reputation. As long as no-one returns to a hunch to
claim it as a forecast, I'm happy, but the temptation is far too much
for most, when the hunch sometimes turns out to be true.


If it does happen, Will at least won't be crowing about it. and
smugly saying that he predicted it way back in march.
He is also the first to hold up his hands and admit when one of
his forecasts goes wrong.
