Reasonable comments. I should have put a question mark at the end of my statement. But I thought it interesting that Kettley should mention the fact that we are experiencing a very mild start to the coming winter season in an El Nino year - as per the run up to the 1986/87 winter he mentions, which subsequently flipped very cold. I thus took his article to be pointing towards the later winter developments fergieweather posted in the Strat thread on the 26th October:

 

"Note cautionary comment by seasonal team re increased SSW potential late season in today's update. In other words, the message remains consistent: coherent, cross-model support for notion of milder/wetter/poss stormier start to winter, but potential for colder flip later (this clearly v uncertain of course)."

The headlines just get better and better.... I'm wondering if they wrote the story lines for that movie The Day After Tomorrow?

Its the same crap just worded differently.

[Hocus Pocus]

Its the same crap just worded differently.

Indeed it is, they must think the British public will swallow the same old cr*p time and time again.

Indeed it is, they must think the British public will swallow the same old cr*p time and time again.

And, from what I hear whilst out shopping, they're probably right!

Warming set to breach 1C threshold

 

Global temperatures are set to rise more than one degree above pre-industrial levels according to the UK's Met Office. Figures from January to September this year are already 1.02C above the average between 1850 and 1900. If temperatures remain as predicted, 2015 will be the first year to breach this key threshold. The world would then be half way towards 2C, the gateway to dangerous warming.

UK weather: Britain braced for WET Christmas with windstorms, torrential rain and flooding misery

 

As gales nudged 70mph in the North today, the Met Office's November to January forecast - briefed to councils and transport chiefs - warns of more frequent tempests for the three months

 

Yet another hard to believe headline. What's next? 100 days of heavy rain from the new year??

Actually one of the more believable headlines/articles in the press I've read so far this autumn!! As oppose to Arctic gales, months of heavy snow and -20c etc...
