Piers says "The coming Solar hit sround 3 Dec is likley to increase

If there is any substantial snowfall in that period outside high
ground in the north I shall be astonished. In fact - at least for the
southern half of the UK - the weather looks like being positively
benign for the time of year, with nothing worse than a little fog and
frost. I see you've quoted the Daily Express in support of Pier's
forecast, which smacks of desperation.

That way,.the Express and Piers go round in ever-decreasing circles,
with the inevitable end result :-)

Now that would be a very positive outcome!

Why do lazy ignorant red top editors fall for these weather charlatans
shock horror cold winter weather in winter scare stories. Do they never
notice that they are inevitably wrong? Or is it just that they will
publish anything if it sells more newspapers (s/news/gossip/).

There is a chance of an M-class solar flare in the next couple of days
with a tinier chance of seeing an aurora in Northern England watch
Spaceweather or AuroraWatch for genuine predictions and updates.

It is rather dull and quiet today

Don't forget to look for Geminid meteors on 14th Dec if skies are clear
- they can put on a decent show.
