Default Piers' thoughts on the week

Despite not indicating a flood event in his forecast - and despite the
superb, bang-on forecast from the Met Office - this little snippet
gives you a view to just how delusional he is - note that the reason
why the North Sea storm surge didn't occur is the reason why the
Cumbria event happened ! The last sentence is a piece of wonderful
waffle.

Richard

• “The severity and timing of extreme events over Britain, Ireland, NW
Europe and the world was excellent.
• “Standard Meteorology consistently underestimated the severity of
events even 12 hours ahead as we warned they would. This has caused
unnecessary suffering and loss.
• “A lot of our detailed forecast statements were confirmed but the
50/50 possibility of storm-surge tidal floods in the N Sea did not
happen. The reason is also why Cumbria was devastated by floods; and
appears connected to why some other events around the world stopped or
developed differently from expected.


Has anyone seen Piers and Weatherlawyer at the same time?
