In all the hullabaloo of the winter forecast they pushed out last week,
I kept reading the statement that they were the only ones who forecast
the 'summer washout'. This has been paraded on numerous news sites as
fact.

Is this true? How accurate was their summer forecast and what forecasts
(if any) did any other met organisations produce?

ISTR reading on this group that they predicted that *early* summer would
be a washout. What actually happened of course that early summer was
quite good and it was *August* that was the washout.
