"UK Met Office strike not long enough!" - Lord Corbyn of Borough comments

"Further to requests I give a forecast (i) to fill any forecast gaps the BBC-MetOffice may have consequent on the strike and (ii) give some Long Range suggestions:-

"(i) Our Met Office state-of-the-art £100,000,000 computer which was paid for by every family in the UK, predicts with high confidence that there will be a near average amount of weather in the period and there will probably be more near the Scottish and UK Parliament buildings due to the hot-air emanting from there, although our confidence as to its lasting effects into tomorrow are low."
"(ii) With high reliability in the last 8 years the real weather in summer and winter has turned out the opposite to Met Office long range forecasts so better forecasts would be obtained by the Long range arm of Met office going on permanent strike, being laid off and producing nothing and instead BBC forecast at the throw of a dice.
"With the money saved on pay during the 3 hour strike WeatherAction would be happy to produce (using solar activity and nothing to do with CO2) a long range summer forecast detailing key developments across the UK every week of the summer to be available on the BBC next week.
