I'm wondering if anyone is keeping a track of his forecast storms in
relation to the actual weather. I ask as this is the weekend of his 3rd major storm when he is reported to have forecast (only a few days ago) winds of up to 100mph. Currently a W wind of 10mph here in the NW. -- Mike Tullett - Coleraine 55.13°N 6.69°W posted 25/11/2007 09:36:36 GMT |

If so would they be kind enough to note too, any comments about the breakdown of agreement and accuracy about weather models. There appears to be nothing to replace this twin set: http://www.hurricanezone.net/ So expect a massive problem with the relevant superdupercomputer. Mike Tullet IIRC (I don't pay much attention to my detractors and tend to forget who says what) tends to see himself as the Net Kop in Chief on here. Why he sees it his job to do so selectively is open to speculation. |

Great thread on UK WeatherWorld where we have contributions from some of PC's mates. One in particular with claims to having worked with PC on forecasts.... It's the only opportunity it seems to be able to put PC's forecasts in their place...with considered verification not just outright dismissal. Some strong feelings and posts as you would imagine but still quite civil given the potential for debate.... http://www.ukweatherworld.co.uk/foru...8210&posts=510 Also new threat just opening up http://www.ukweatherworld.co.uk/foru...=18325&posts=6 UKWW is a good forum and mature....in the current 'climate' of forums... ;-) Joe |

Currently a W wind of 10mph here in the NW. -- Mike Tullett - Coleraine 55.13°N 6.69°W posted 25/11/2007 09:36:36 GMT Mike, Corbyn's superstorm-forecast for this weekend kept us busy in Holland as well (as a third of our dear nation is below sea-level) - all week searching the weathermaps to find an abnormality that pinpointed in possibly direction of some "wind". So was astonished when last Friday Corbyn told on one of our weathersites that the Dutchies didn't understand his forecasting too well. We simply had no clue of the English weatherjargon. A superstorm is a "hurricane" BUT a "hurricane"is ermmm...... Okay, we're only foreigners and our English isn't that good; hope you'll forgive us. At least I think to understand this: if Corbyn talks about a "superstorm" he means a 5 to 6 Bft. So a strong superstorm will be about 8 Bft? Well, got things right again. Then your "storm" will have a 10mph. I'd call it a "mild storm" - but what's in a name. Wijke Centre of Holland, SE Flevopolder - West, 4 bft - gusting 36 kph - 22.4 mph - storm!! |

We were astonished when last Friday, Corbyn stated on one of our weather sites that the Dutch didn't understand his forecasting too well. We simply had no clue of the English weather jargon. A super-storm is an "hurricane" BUT an "hurricane" is ermmm...... Okay, we're only foreigners and our English isn't that good; I hope you'll forgive us. At I think I understand this: Mr Corbyn talks about a "super-storm" he means an F5 or F6 Beaufort. So a strong super-storm will be about F8? I don't understand the last bit. Is this what you meant: Well, [he] got things right again. Then [a mere] "storm" will be 10mph. I'd call it a "mild storm" - but what's in a name. A wind speed of 10 mph is nothing near a mild storm in anyone's books. This is the Beaufort scale for it: 8-12 mph; 7-10 knots: Gentle breeze. Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind will fill a light flag. I doubt anyone understands his forecasts. Even him. I bet he is puzzled over some of his results even now. If you'd care to take a much wider field of view on his dates, then you might see something in them even he is missing. I don't know if you watch our Countryfile forecasts but according to the presenter, next Friday looks to be presenting a doozy for Greenland-Iceland. As it happens he also showed that an Azores high will extend to Britain in the next few days. This is due to the absence of any powerful tropical storm IME. So if there is no such storm, that part of the prediction will come true. However, with the probable demise of the couple still extant, there is a severe earthquake due and the weather models break down when that state of things is reached. |
