Andrew Bond has now set up a web page explaining exactly how Metcheck makes its
predictions from NOAA information.

Andrew says he will link this to the front page as well.

Enjoy.

Thanks for that Will.

I always like to read these long range forecast, whoever has a go, but
we all expect a bit more than guesswork or rhuematics playing up, if
you know what I mean. Andrew does seem to be having a go using the
information available. I have read his forecast upto the end of
January 2004 and couldn't realy see where the Daily Telegraph got the
severe winter idea from. So I think it is the Daily Telegragh who is a
bit red faced over this adn I guess P.E. told them so.

The reference on that page to the "Climate Predication Center" doesn't
inspire confidence. If they are so careless as to get that important
detail wrong and not notice, why should I believe that they can get a
weather forecast right? (I followed the link given for the CPC in order
to confirm that, as I suspected, it should be the "Climate Prediction
Center".)

I don't object to that. When referring to American institutions, it
seems fair enough to retain the original spelling.

As this information is presumably obtained at a premium rate from Metcheck
,why can it be downloaded from Noaa for free ?
Or am I being too mercenary ?

It is only IMHO Keith but in the last few years, I genuinly feel the D
Telegraph has severly 'dumbed down' and become little more than a joke
compared to what it used to be say, 10 yrs or so ago. Vey much self centred
and sometimes blatantly wrong journalism on many issues. I rarely waste my
money buying it these days, once it was my regular newspaper. The best bit
now, I have to say, is the Sat/Sun weather column by, well, you know who.

Mind you Pete B, the Telegraph soon printed the Weather Action twaddle back
in autumn 1980 way before the "dumbing down" process.
