Paul I recall a summary of a devastating hurricane about forty years ago which showed Accuweather got the forecast track completely wrong whereas the other forecasting services were all quite accurate. The comment by my boss was that Accuweather were a "one man and a dog outfit run from a shed at the bottom of someone's garden". Whether this was true or not I have no idea but I don't think he held them in high regard. Things must have improved a lot there because this is what they say about themselves on their web-site: "AccuWeather, established in 1962, is the World's Weather Authority." I'm sure they're not being guilty of hyperbole in saying that as one of their stated values is "Respect, honesty and trust". -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK. E-mail: newsman, not newsboy.

Paul Well I hope he is wrong, though worryingly what he's saying is similar to the Met Office. Seems to suggest a 2004-style summer.... warm, but changeable. Maybe one cool, wet month, one warm, dry month and one warm, wet month. I have to say it would represent a significant pressure distribution shift to what we have now though! Nick |
