Hottest ever summer on the way

[bobk]

Reports in Germany suggest El Nino is going to kick ass this summer , expert meteorologists have poured cold water on the prospect
So it must be correct .

 

[Barleymow]

i thought in October last year they were forcasting a cold winter , they gotthat wrong ( so far )

 

[rob1]

What we need is more research , at least thats what all the well paid researchers tell us, either that or read the express and the weather will be the opposite

That will make it interesting for all the newly converted spring crop drillers, planning on drilling late April or May.
They will remember there was a reason why everyone switched to autumn drilling.

I'm still waiting for this 'coldest winter known to man' we were suppose to get this year

 

[ARW]

all a load of crap, the weather reports are only correct 12hours before it happens!

Don't listen to long term forecasts and take everyday as it comes

I doubt some of them can predict if it will get dark at night.

That is what I was implying if you look at my post at "Simons Fridays Spring Outlook", last Friday.

Meteorologists are no more than con men , and forecast are no better than weather witchcraft

I keep looking on his weatherweb site at the pressure charts, I've lost count of the number of times day ten has a hint of high settling towards us only for the days to get closer and the high get moved back to day ten once more, not even just through this winter either, happens all year round and does get annoying, wish I could resist looking as I always end up getting my hopes up knowing its not actually that likely to happen!

Ahh, 2nd paragraph down -

"Arctic air will roar in from the North Pole later this week, triggering the start of the worst winter in many people's lifetimes. "

 

[james ds]

Maybe they meant "the wettest instead of the coldest ", because it sure has been wet.

Hang on a minute, they were predicting the bad storm that hit the SE of England just before Xmas about 7 days ahead, and they got it dead on

 

[jerseycowsman]

And Simon has been predicting less rain and storms for this week since about Xmas. I think it pretty impressive that he has got it exactly right

If someone says a certain outcome is going to happen enough times eventually some will be right! How many times over the same period have they predicted an upturn in drier weather? Or less rain in a few days time? Don't get me wrong, it is impressive what they can do sometimes but the number of times they wrongly predict is quite high!

 

[FonterraFarmer]

Wet and cold for winter, hot and dry for summer makes a good weather guess too!

 

[Paddington]

These meteorologists are getting it all wrong, what we need is a climatologist who can forecast the average temperature to the nearest degree in fifty years time. True, they can't tell if it will rain tomorrow, but that's only incidental.
