   The Met are way out on their Sep forecast – warmer and drier than normal.

   Watch this space. I will be posting at the end of the month, but we are already much colder and wetter. (Now why would that come as any surprise?)

   We need the Met to forecast accelerating CO2 levels… and the bankruptcy of Western civilization. Then the opposite will happen…

   Steven,

   Do you have an open thread where we can post links that may be of interest (like the one below)?

   The above T-shirt worthy of a $750 prize in this contest by guess who? http://atrium.threadless.com/dirtyweather/

   Though I think the judging organization might think otherwise……..

   Can anyone remember the drought warnings in the early spring? I think the met office predicted a dry and warm spring. A prediction which failed almost immediately.

     The English Met Office is definitively AGW oriented. Every atmospheric situation is considered in that perspective only, even before any analysis of the raw data is done. Reality is of no importance to these people.

     It’s all here. The Met really excelled themselves that time.

       Thanks Paul,

       A total shambles from the Met Office.

       As usual.

   I live in SW France and regularly read the BBC/Met off forecast for my nearest major town. What has been really strange recently has been their added 5 day forecast after their normal 5 day forecast. So this is a full 10 days. Now we all no that they struggle with an ACCURATE 6 hours forecast, witness recent events in the UK, so I never expected a 10 day to be any good but what was intriguing was that the forecast temps for their first 5 days have been, well, OK. A little high but that is forgivable, but for the following 5 days their temp forecasts have been totally stupid. I mean so high that they would break all known records. This has been happening consistently for at least the last few months.

   It looks like they have CO² warming in their basic weather model and serious CO² warming at that.

   I think calling them clowns sort of insults clowns after all clowns are very professional actors who strive for perfect timing and outcomes.
