All these terms are freely babbled out by the army of 'forecasters' we are
blessed with on TV and radio presumably at the behest of the Exeter gurus
who decide what is relevant or not depending on the current fashion,like at
the moment letting presenters put their own personal opinions instead of
historical facts

Local forecaster on TV tonight uttered "unseasonably cold". In truth,
he should have stated "bloody cold"!

Maybe he likes his job, and wants to keep it?

Unseasonably cold seems a very apt description to me. Weather
presenters who swear on air would soon find themselves gaining a P45, I
suspect.

For most of the time, feeling cold is subjective anyway. A forecast
with subjective elements is never going to please everyone.
