.... is the EMCWF, such a well respected body really needs some
professional help with it's image, it's website is beginning to look very
outdated!

EMCWF?
ECMWF!


Oh god, yes I apologise for typing quickly! No wonder this ng has a bad name
for elitism when it's full of such pedantic pricks!



Hey leave our pricks out of it, this is a family ng :-)

I don't know about ECMWF, the Met-Office have made a right pigs-ear of
theirs.

Not to mention the fact that they couldn't forecast the 'Potential for
Tornadic' activity last Wednesday over Southern Counties, when a
certain armature forecaster by the name of Bono's Ego ©, was able to
forecast the potential at 19:00hrs the night before from looking at the
charts.

With a fake address and language like that

PLONK!!

But can you image the media hype if the Met Office actually issued a
tornado warning. The country would come to a standstill, supermarkets
selves would be emptied. My guess is they'd internally predicted the
likelihood of tornadoes and hope if tornadoes do form they won't hit a
populated area.

Image the Daily Express headline, I'd bet it would include the phrase
'Death Storms'

Hmmm, shouldn't 'god' be with a capital 'G'?

Only if it's Yahweh/Jehovah/Elohim/YHWH/Allah, the Abrahamic god of
Judaeo-Christian-Islamic religions.

God with a small 'g' refers to all the other thousands of gods that
humans have worshipped over the years.

Thanks Martin.

Not necessarily. He knows who he is. And false reverence started as a
means for the false and the foolish to avoid using god's name. He does
actually have a name, that is given with a capital letter as per proper
nouns.

Having issued us with a programme manual on how to use him to our best
advantage, he would have enter such clauses specifically would he not,
if that was a requirement?

But as for the OP.

It is a useful site if I can find out how to open a grib file:

Pity it doesn't have sea level pressures as they are the only things I
can understand.
