Paul Simons, in his Times 'Weather Eye' column today comments on the OTT
reports in the media

After commenting that the promised "scorching hot" summer, then "an
arctic freeze, a nightmare of ice, snow and a nightmare of sub-zero
temperatures", and most recently "the wettest winter for 33 years", he
goes on to say that "There is clearly a gulf between sections of the
media and meteorlogists. The more sensational forecasts have often come
from dubious sources with little meteorological background, but they
make stunning headlines."

What a beautiful put-down :-)
