Kudos for admitting failure.
But the real lesson is that anyone who predicts the weather several weeks
ahead is never 'right' or 'wrong', merely 'lucky' or 'unlucky'.

If someone wins the football pools, no-one would think to praise him for
being a great forecaster.
Why should (long-range) weather forecasting be any different?




I think you denigrate Mr Hand and football pools punters. Mr Hand is a
scientist so should know about short and medium term situations in the
atmosphere. Seasoned football pool punters are experts in probability.
