The Met Office lay themselves open to ridicule by issuing these
seasonal forecasts. Far better to admit that seasonal forecasting is
experimental and not over publicise them so that the red-top comics
don't latch on and come up with ridiculous headlines.

Sadly, the bulk of the British population is scientifically sub-
literate - most of them are even proud of the fact that they are
scientifically and mathematically challenged - issuing these forecasts
plays into the hand of the these people and their red-top
cheerleaders.
