Default "......for the time of year"

I get cross enough when some weatherbimbette reading off an autocue
says that a deep depression in July is "unusual for the time of year",
but when Peter Gibbs, who really ought to know better, says the same
thing on the 6.30 pm forecast today my blood starts to boil.
If a really deep low is unusual in late September when is it going to
be usual?. Will he be repeating the same mantra in December?.
The only reason I can think of is that the public is being softened up
to believe that AGW is the reason for any weather event, unusual or
not.
Any thoughts?.
