The problem is that Piers would do zilch that was relevant, accurate or

In the link, UKMO state:
'In global models, ENDGame's improved accuracy and reduced damping produces more detail in synoptic features such as cyclones, fronts and jet stream winds.

Glad to hear that the model will predict less rain.
