A potentially dismal winter for those of us in Eire if his forecast is correct- although, while he may have the overall pattern correct, it's impossible for him to know exactly where the high in December will be situated- a couple of hundred miles further to the Northwest of Ireland, could make all the difference for us. Anyway as much as i was initially disappointed reading his forecast, fair play to him for sticking his neck out- it's easy to be hurlers on the ditch(critics, who just shout he's wrong, without producing their own forecast to say why he's wrong)
