The Meto is still not prepared to forecast this change in their 6-15 day

outlook ...





Not so.

" UK Outlook for Monday 4 Mar 2013 to Wednesday 13 Mar 2013:



Next week is likely to start generally dry with variable amounts of cloud

but probably the best of the sunshine across southern and western areas.

However, even northern and eastern places should see increasing amounts of

sunshine by mid-week. Through the remainder of the week it will probably

turn more unsettled in the southwest with rain at times. Other areas may

hold on to these drier conditions for longer, but bands of rain are likely

to increasingly advance further north and east, giving a low risk of snow in

northern areas. Winds generally light at first, but southeasterly winds are

likely to strengthen in southern areas. Generally rather cold with further

overnight frosts for many, especially at first, but temperatures probably

recovering to nearer normal in the south with time. "



"turn more unsettled in the SW ..... bands of rain .... " looks like a

change to me.

Did you read this forecast before posting I wonder?

You appear to have missed the phrase "in the SW". Does the SW now represent the whole of the UK?

I interpret that "forecast" as no return to Atlantic conditions for almost all the UK. It clearly shows that towards the end of the forecast - where it is probably talking about conditions from 10 days onwards: "Winds generally light at first, but southeasterly winds are likely to strengthen in southern areas. (South-easterly winds *still* out to 16 days is now an indication of Atlantic weather at 10). Generally rather cold with further overnight frosts for many, especially at first, but temperatures probably recovering to nearer normal in the south with time. implying the cold will continue to 16 days, which means it will certainly be colder at 10 days)".

But as usual, this ****-poor precis is as clear as mud with both its wording and its timings. The MetO teaboy did his usual job of brilliant obfuscation.

Have you lost your ability to interpret the tea-boy's scribbles since leaving your former employers, I wonder?
