Britain faces arctic winter
01/11/06
By Mark Reynolds

AFTER one of the hottest summers on record, Britons have been warned to
prepare for the big chill.

Weathermen sent out the alert as they told the nation to wrap up for an
icy blast from the Arctic.

Temperatures are set to plummet to minus 4 degrees celsius (24F) overnight
in some parts of the country in what could herald the start of a long and
bitter winter.

The sheer scale of the change in temperature, dropping up to 24F, will
make conditions feel even colder.

The meteorologists warned that strong winds will also add to the chill
factor in the wake of the warmest six months since records began.

But last night the Met Office said the big chill, which is initially set
to grip the nation for at least the next week, signals an end to the
extraordinarily mild weather.

Long-term forecasters believe the hot summer will give way to an unusually
icy winter, with one agency predicting a 40 per cent chance of a white
Christmas.

I don't see any of the other tabloid press going like this. What is it
with the Express that they feels they have to do it?

They've run out of 'Diana' stories?

I seem to remember a similar load of rubbish last year - thousands,
apparently, were going to die of the severe cold, followed of course, by
millions of deaths from bird flu.

It was UKMO who predicted a colder winter, some of the tabloids may have
spun the life out of it, but it still remains that UKMO lit the blue paper.

Last winter forecast from the UKMO I saw was going for average or warmer
than average weather this winter.

I think Lawrence was talking about 2005-6.
