Yep, and also long hot summers with the possibility of washouts.

New study to tell us all, it could be hot in summer, but it might rain, possibility of a cold snap after it's rained a lot in winter.

Basically nothing we don't already know about the weather in the UK. Fantastic waste of time and money, give us a job I recon I could of told them that for half the price and in a fraction of the time.

On a different note, has someone pulled a name change on me.

Weather expected to be unpredictable; just like it always has been...

I guess the Met Office feels the need to spout this nonsense to try and justify their massive new(ish) HQ in Exeter...

The Metoffice?

Would that be the same Metoffice who have 100% WRONGLY predicted the last THREE Winters?

The same Metoffice who have 100% WRONGLY predicted the last TWO Summers?

The same Metoffice who still talk about climate change?

Not fit for purpose. But they will keep banging out the statistics about CC and GW...and reap the benefits...more money and new HQ etc etc.

Dishonest, the lot of them.

I have it on good authority (a Canadian friend) that they actually come out of the woods to **** in adjacent fields

It ruined my day when he told me that

...so they are nowhere near detecting, let alone proving, (the lie that is) man made global warming!

FFS, can someone shoot these pointless oxygen thiefs?

So now tyre manufacuters will bring out "Rain tyres" so we'll need a third set between summer and winter.
