Even colder next week !!
And here's the Express today:
"The UK faces the WORST hurricane-force winds and torrential
rain this winter and possibly for DECADES.
And forecasters warned there will be NO let up in the extreme
stormy weather until at least the end of the month.
The entire west coast is braced for colossal 75 foot-plus
waves to crash inland this weekend triggering unchecked
flooding and widespread destruction.
A deep low Atlantic pressure system miles of the UK coast will
whip up 150mph winds and violent sea surges as it barrels into
the country.
At its centre the intense storm will see pressure drop to just
944mb - seven millibars LOWER than the Great Storm of 1987.
Experts said the worst of the weather is due to set in tonight
before a relentless onslaught of wind and rain over the
weekend.
They warned communities to prepare for trees to be torn from
the ground, roofs ripped from buildings and the flooding
crisis to dramatically deteriorate.
Meteorological projections show winds of 12 on the Beaufort
scale - Hurricane force - hitting the west coast on tonight
and into tomorrow.
Forecasters have warned exceptional low pressure driving the
storm threatens to whip up gales which could exceed 100mph -
way off the Beaufort scale."
I don't know where to begin to comment on that, or its
internal contradictions, so I'll refrain :-)

Souinds as if they are employing advertising copywriters instead
of meteorologists, or even journalists.
