They have got a schoolgirl Eleanor Steafel writing their rubbish now. She
would be better employed knitting, darning or becoming a housewife :-)

I loved the "sudden stratospheric warnings" . If only the Met office
could rely on such warnings, coming from big G.

"A Met Office forecast warns of potential flooding caused by more than
one and a half foot of rain, with councils and emergency services told
to be on standby for what will "more likely than not" become "the
strongest ever" El Nino on record. "

This links to a Torygraph page which talks about warnings for the next
few days. I didn't see any reference to 457mm rain though.

"The Met Office also warned of a severe drop in temperatures in the New
Year caused by "sudden stratospheric warnings" where bitter easterly
winds chill Britain. "

I didn't realise we issued strat warnings, sudden or otherwise. It also
links to another Torygraph page, which is all about fog.

I gave up after that. I wonder what Roger Highfield and Christine
McGourty think about it. They were at the Torygraph when I was in the
MetO Press Office and they knew their onions.

As I said, a baby girl wrote that piece now. Perhaps she's a weather watcher
:-)

snip
"The forecast - which predicts gale-force winds and freezing -14C
temperatures in early 2016 - serves as a grim reminder of the winter of
2013"
snip
That's a contradiction, I don't recal -14C in 2013 from SW'ly winds?
I thinks she's talking about "The day after tomorrow" film...

The "journalist" concerned is obviously well qualified to write on the
weather, "Eleanor Steafel is a reporter at The Telegraph with a particular
interest in culture and social affairs".

It's hard to see how they get from the Met Office saying (as quoted):

"The risk of spells of windy or stormy weather is greater than usual.
There is clear shift towards above-average rainfall. El Nino moderately
increases the probability of increased frequency of Atlantic depressions
crossing the UK and wetter-than-average conditions."

to their alarmist article.

I've noticed over the last year or so that the Telegraph has
increasingly been publishing sensationalist articles about the weather
prospects in a way that they would never dream of doing about any other
topic.

I don't think I've ever read a more poorly written piece in Telegraph. It is all over the place and looks like the author has been at the Scotch.
