Cannon writes UKMO retreat of warm-up continues further

On the contrary, the cold weather has retreated long before Piers
claimed it would.

How does he/you explain this bad forecasting?

Not wrong, RIGHT

Piers Corbyn said "We stated anyway this period would be 'less
cold' (than previous period) on our forecast maps first issued mid
Dec** and when MetO first talked of thaw we warned (see below) it
would not be as significant or rapid as they expected and
temperatures
on each day would be revised down and the event delayed and that
anyway cold weather would return under our forecast. The event detail
is less cold than we expected in our 5 week ahead forecast but
nevertheless the timing and our warning of standard short range
(MetO)
forecast errors have been well confirmed.
