Yes for two days now big yellow weather warning over the South of
England then I guess it was abducted by Aliens you know those ones
that are concerned with AGW.


More UKMO melodramatic tripe and let's face it when it comes to OTT
forecasts AGWUKMO really know their onions. *Maybe tomorrows big
yellow blob may yet be justified , but really it is pathetic.
scaremongering in the vein of 'elf & safety codswallop, no wonder
England's going to hell in a legally maintained and serviced hand
cart.

The 11.30pm radar rain band seems to have taken a leap to the East and
thinned. I hope it's not going to do a channel skimmer like Channel Low
snow threats!

The funny thing is Dave when these grim warnings go out all of us
weather nuts shout whoopee, we don't cower in fear, so it goes without
saying that most of us are looking forward to Crash Bang and Wallop
and are not dismayed. I understand that a forecast can go wrong; I
have no problem with that. However when stupid 'weather warnings go
out that always tend to be wrong- well UKMO have only their selves to
blame when they get some stick. The times this has happened, when the
severe weather public information doom laden tosh fizzles out faster
than a pound shop firework.

I really wish I'd keep some kind of record over the years of outcomes
compared to predictions, sadly it seems we live in an age where no
seems to care if its all fantasy , it's all quickly
forgotten.
