  1. Shocking - feel so sorry for those suffering floods ....

    If this was Bangladesh not Somerset we would be sending the Red Cross and disaster relief aid - charity should begin at home IMO !

    Sorry I find comments like this really annoying.  Equating a picture of one flooded house/business with the devastating floods in another country is shocking.

     

    When we have 1000's dead, 10,000's homes destroyed, 100,000's homeless, outbreaks of cholera, no fire brigade, no RNLI, no SAR, no council emergency shelters, etc, etc. then maybe, just maybe you can bemoan the lack of international assistance.

     

    The flooding is tragic for those affected, but really people need to wind their sense of perspective back a little.

  2. Is it not a prettt decent storm today? Within the 2 day period. Forecasted over 4 weeks ahead. Impressive. I know people dont want to derail thread but the detail of the forecast is to accurate and to frequent to be chance. Give credit where credit is due I say

    But it wasn't the forecast from 4 weeks ago was it?  4 weeks ago he said Cornwall would be 'breezy', no mention of floods, storm force winds, etc.  He changed his forecast for the beginning of January only a few days ago.

  3. Hello, a long range weather forecaster has released a summary of his July forecast here -

    Without naming the forecaster (its obvious...but judge the forecast rather than the guy) would it be possible to judge/test/rate the forecast?

    8 days in I'd say (anecdotally) that it's not great, as it misses the flooding and rain of the 6th-7th, which was an extreme weather event (in my view).
