To Day Usual Weather Warning Dollop of Gibberish
I mean what is the point -even they ignore don't take a blind bit of notice they are probably too busy warning about the horrors of AGW with a plethora of maybe's and could's followed up by lashings of might's -so what am I on about. Okay are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin. I go to work this morning after hearing BBC's forecaster Carol Driftwood mentioning to her pal Billy about thunder storms later today. So I get's to work and there in the very serious UKMO weather warning pages is a map of England with the eastern half covered with what looks like a gigantic lemon jelly bean. Now in the fevered demented ' we are all going to die' world of the MetO it seems a gigantic jelly bean means , "be aware" so I can only assume if things get really serious we can expect to see the largest dolly mixture ever made!!!!! Anyhow finally interpreting the lemon jelly bean it seems that many places under the bean are in for flash flood events (event signifies drama and is often used to frighten the beejeesus out of folk in agw metO world. Anyways there is a whole page about areas under the curse of the jelly bean who are going to get wet to quote UKMO "Issued at - 26 Jun 2011, 19:56 Valid from - 27 Jun 2011, 15:00 Valid to - 28 Jun 2011, 12:00 Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop in places during Monday afternoon and evening, persisting through into Tuesday. These have the potential to bring localised rainfall totals of 25-50 mm in a few hours, with a risk of flash flooding and large hail. The public are advised to take extra care, further information and advice can be found he http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/links.html " Now in my part of the world that's serious warning talk so I decided to fit our buildings two floodgates in place as Flash Flood mentioned on UKMO website portends potential death. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/..._warnings.html Okay duty done I go home and wait for the end of eastern England, it gets a bit overcast around 6pm but after having a problem with the PC I get it up and running and look at the radar -sod all there. But then I check their weather pages and guess what? yep not a drop of rain in sight for the SE. So we have the weather warning page telling people to be prepared -I guess they mean filling sandbags and yet on the same website, same organisation and I assume all singing from the same hymn sheet we get this http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html Seriously this is unbelievably poor for an organisation that gets paid from the public purse yet it puts out totally contradictory forecasts, honestly if I had paid for that privately instead of paying for it publically I would expect my money back it's a disgrace. I realise some think I'm always picking at UKMO and they are absolutely right, I ask you how can they display such contradictory nonsense two mouse clicks apart and then babble tripe about future global warming decades away. |
