Default What Storm?

In these increasingly litagatious times, I can't blame them.
It's just very sad that our forecasts have effectively become distorted
to account for this trend.
If severe gales are forecast and then it's just a bit windy then the public
just sighs with relief and nobody bothers with the fact that they got it
wrong. But if it's the other way round.......


Quite. The "crying wolf" effect springs to mind. Cry wolf too many times and
when you really do need to get it right, no-one believes you :-(

Cheers.
