According to Piers Corbyn, we are due to get hit again (mainly in the South) between Christmas Day and the end of December. He's been right about winter so far.

Who will be more accurate? :-/

well its going to happen there is nothing to stop it, have a sit down and talk on here better than being in the cold :) :) :) :)
-
that Piers certainly doesn't sit on the fence - very interesting.
my moneys on the Met Office :y
of course he does have the distinct advantage that if he guesses correctly he can claim "I told you so!!!" and if he's hopelessly wrong no one will remember ;D

Michael Fish any one. ;D ;D ;D

Michael Fish any one. ;D ;D ;D
Fish makes for a good story, but its nearly always misquoted he also told viewers there would be strong winds and to batten down the hatches - in the end there were strong winds but there was no hurricanes in the UK so technically he was actually spot on when he said "dont worry there are no hurricanes coming mrs smith" or something :y
If I was Fish i'd be mad i'm made out to look like an idiot. pesky facts ;D

keeps him on tv shows ;D ;D ;D

can she do the weather please-->>>> http://www.sexyandfunny.com/watch_video/czech-weather-girl-strips_443.html please!!!

Where I work has been badly disrupted by snow, as it is in an exposed, high-altitude location. As a result nearly everyone has been watching the weather closely from a variety of sources - BBC, Met Office, iphone apps, farmers' forecasts, council, forecasts, sky, etc etc
They're all different, so it's difficult to know what the weather will do from one day to the next.
I go with the Met office :y
-
As Piers Corbyn predicted a harsh winter at the beginning of the year whereas the Met office predicted a mild one, i think i`ll go with him, he also predicted the russian heatwaves & the Pakistani floods months in advance with details as to what was going to cause them, so he is pretty spot on. :y

are we saying an accurate forcast over more than 3 days is possible?

If you change 'forecast' to 'guess', sure! ;D ;D

August 12th 2023 will be a scorcher by the way.
You heard it here first :y

2012 is going to be wide spread floods, head for high ground, if not able to get to high ground you have a year to make an ark. make your plans now.
-
There was a small article in the Metro today stating that there would be snow on Boxing Day. Luckily I have the week off otherwise I would be stuffed.
That being said, all the main suspects were changing their predictions <6hrs ahead.
-
After watching this, I'm not convinced we've actually had "snow" yet. 8-)

Well, it's the 28th and it was 8 degrees here today, forecast 9 tomorrow and well above freezing until the 2nd.
One for science I reckon?

Corbyn is actually an astrophysicist, so therefore a scientist.
His prediction for the UK did not materialise, as the Scandinavian anticyclone gave way over the UK, but Europe is still being hit by snowfall. He apparently correctly forecast the US blizzards. I understand he currently enjoys 85% accuracy or thereabouts.

whereas the Met Office hits 90% accuracy or thereabouts for general forecasting :y
trouble is theres a common misconception that the Met Office definitively state what the weather will be - they never do.
So predicting a mild winter means there was something like a 65% chance of a mild winter based on thousands of computer models :y
like i said earlier, i'll stick with the Met - they're the best there is :y
