There's an article on the Met O website comparing this December to last.
Towards the end it says:
"However, the challenge of forecasting our variable weather is something
the Met Office rises to every day and explains why we are regularly
ranked in the top two national weather services in the world"

Who is the other one?

NOAA? It's also a statement that smacks of the hubris that permeates
the MetO and it's just the kind of PR that further alienates a public
that see the forecast, experience the weather mistakes as they affect
them, personally and don't see the explanations of why it went wrong.

Excellent forecasters, working right at the edge of what is possible;
bloody awful PR.

Have you signed up for the open day in Jan? Could be a good opportunity to
feed back what you feel is good and bad!

I'm looking forward to the tour, got lots of questions to ask them
myself....
