Default There's a Weather Thrill Under the Jelly Bean Nellie Dean

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

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.

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.
