Page missing for me two but saw this yesterday personally i don,t pay too much heed to these long range forecasts but it may be prudent to take a few sensible precautions.

I am really hoping that this is just hype to sell copy as with the old man out of commission after his hip op I could do with the winter months being gentle, I don't fancy doing battle with the weather as well. I guess we'll get what we're having though regardless of what I want. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

i was thinking an ideal time to sell the 110! exclusivities gone now Whistle

weather patterns have changed, it will snow at some point. I need to get around for my work so thats my only concern.

we have 2 quattros in the house aswell as the 110 so we wont be stuck.

Well it was reported we were going to have the worst summer for decades this year by the so called experts - and they got that wrong.
I don't take any notice of long range forecasts

Its complete Bull.

2 weather companies putting the word out so that if its all true they can say "told you so" in the hope they become a better better established name.

If it doesn't happen then nobody cares.

The weather cannot be predicted that far in advance its just algorithm crunching and nothing else, although in Jonathan Powell's weather forecast I don't even think it's number crunching, I think he just makes this stuff up.

I see the Met Office has not joined their party.

The Express and their side kick Vantage (they've been called other names over the years) are well known for their dodgy outlooks and even their dodgy companies

I seem to recall that after predicting a 'barbecue summer' at the start of 2012 (and we know how badly that went), the Met Office stated they would no longer be publishing long-range forecasts.
