Not a forecast I enjoy making, but there's agreement and consistency amongst the models.

**On Thursday, 27th February, the UK will be experiencing weather with an Atlantic source. Windy and wet weather will be interspersed with drier days, in ridges of high pressure. Snow will be generally confined to hills, falling mainly in the lee of depressions.**

Typical winter zonal weather. More wind and wet to the end of Feb. Oh joy!

So what's new, the zonal sh*te continues!!
April can't come quick enough, anything is better that this garbage!

Nothing new at all and I think almost everyone in the country, except perhaps a particular resident of Haytor, would agree with you Graham.

Not bad for sunshine down 'ere this winter. No day-after-day sunless
ones to have to grimace through like late Dec 2010/Jan 2011.

Yesterday was the most glorious of winter days - unbroken sunshine and
+11C, and we've had plenty of them mixed amongst the wind and rain days.

Winter (2013/14) sunshine:
December = 84 hours
January = 76 hours
February = 60 hours (up to 17th).

Can you explain this please. Is this a forecast for one day, as you state on the 27th Feb, or for a number of days, as you refer to drier days as well?
Is the snow likely to be generally on all hills, or certain parts of the UK?
As a hill walker, this is quite important and should probably carry a health warning so people can be prepared.

Congratulations on managing to refer to Will once again, totally unnecessarily, you really are obsessed.

Surely. When we have a mobile situation, it is impossible at 10 days to say exactly where, in the passage of depressions we will be; hence the possibilities. The overall thrust is that we will be in an Atlantic flow. Hope that educates you a little more as to my method, but if you'd actually read what I've written instead of being Mr. Angry from Purley about it all, you'd already know.

Would you like to proffer an alternative and perhaps more detailed forecast? You appear to have missed commenting on my previous 3/4 correct forecasts David: shame but there you go. You also missed my proffered opportunity to forecast yourself. Too easy, I suppose. *)).

Well done not missing an opportunity to defend your man. As I said, praiseworthy that, if a little obsequious.

Nothing this morning that makes me think this forecast won't achieve outcome. *((

That's what forecasting is.

Believe it or not, I understand that. No Mr Angry, a genuine question, which once again you failed to answer. What period does this forecast cover, it is misleading?

I only comment if there is something to comment about. Your methods haven't changed, so what's new? I haven't said your forecasts are wrong, what I've said is that essentially you re-issue other forecasts and claim a percentage that is entirely misleading also.

I don't have time to study the models, but no, it isn't that hard and what would anyone gain from it? What does anyone actually gain from your one-liners?

If I did ever issue forecasts, I would attempt (and fail) to issue something of interest and benefit and with a little detail.

No defence there at all and he isn't my man, another sad comment from you entirely related to your obsession.

Still waiting for you to answer any of my questions. You avoid them all the time and attempt to use diversionary techniques and misplaced insults. Give up now, doesn't work, never will.

Forecasting has not reached that pinnacle. I'm afraid. No-one can do that and I'm not claiming I can.

A little attempt at understanding would go a long way.

I like the fact that every time I forecast, There is something for you to talk about. What you've said is not what happens and you've been told that, not just by me, but by others. Your problem is that you set out not to understand and bongo! You don't.

I don't have time to study the models, but no, it isn't that hard and what would anyone gain from it? What does anyone actually gain from your one-liners?

You don't have time to do it, yet you know that an 80%+ success rate isn't hard. See your problem?

If I did ever issue forecasts, I would attempt (and fail) to issue something of interest and benefit and with a little detail.

Would you? That's nice.

you are now copying from my posts to others. Please state your questions and I will be happy to oblige. I thought I'd answered everything you'd asked, but perhaps Mr Angry of Purley missed the replies in looking for something to fume about. *))
