Tomorrow's Countryfile forecast will be very interesting indeed.

I may record it and save it forever.
I doubt we will ever see a forecast like it ever again.

You must know something we don't Brendan :-)

In my view the best countryfile weather forecast I have ever seen was the
one on August 3rd last year. That was the one which forecast 37C by the end
of the week and guess what, as we all know it was correct.
The only countryfile forecast in my view that could beat that is one
which forecasts the opposite, as it is winter, and that is one that
forecasts -27C or lower or forecasts snow in excess of 1 metre in the London
area.
After all, that has never been done, so it would be a record. What was
forecast on August 3rd 2003 was something that was to be a record, and so it
was.
I really doubt that someone is going to forecast something that breaks
all our winter records. As don't forget those temperatures last August are
now new records.

think)...

I've still got recordings somewhere of the sensational late Dec '95
cold spell. The blues on the map got so dark they were practically black!

That is what I recall too. It was on the 9.25pm forecast when the main
news was at 9pm. Already by that time, Shawbury was down to about -26C
IIRC.

Yes I remember that - the forecaster nonchalantly showing -25 for central
scotland! Last August also ranks highly for me. Can't see tomorrows being
that special to tell the truth. Just the coldest of this winter so far.

The lowest temperature ever recorded was actually Newport, Shropshire
at -26.1c, Shawbury pretty much the same at -26c. I did work experience in
the Met Office at RAF Shawbury and the forecaster i worked with was on shift
that day.... he said it was already -19c by 4pm that afternoon. Pretty cold.

Remember that, for a while it looked like Scotland might lose the
British Record, until Braemar pitched in with a cold 'un.
