Fun seasons ahead
« on: October 13, 2013 »
Well obviously most of us never trust the weather but this could be fun http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/436170/Worst-winter-for-decades-Record-breaking-snow-predicted-for-November and I just sold my monster polar boots, time to get some good whiteout trips in me thinks.

Once again it is the season for speculation and big headlines regarding what the weather will do over the winter period. The front page of the Daily Express today claims: ‘Worst winter for decades: Record-breaking snow predicted for November’.

We saw similar headlines last year and instead winter 12/13 ended up being only the 43rd coldest on record with an average temperature of 3.3C and flooding until the turn of the year.

Here's what the Met Office had to say:

What the Daily Express has failed to explain to it’s readers is that there is absolutely no certainty about what weather the UK will see over the winter period. The science simply does not exist to make detailed, long-term forecasts for temperature and snowfall even for the end of November, let alone for the winter period, which does not officially start until 1 December.

While we have seen a return to more normal, cooler temperatures for this time of year, this is no indication of what we can expect over the next four months with regards to temperatures and when we might see snow. It is far too early to tell.

Ultimately, we’re heading into winter and it is perfectly possible that we will see the whole range of weather that we get in winter at some point over the coming months, including snow and freezing temperatures, but also heavy rain, windy weather and mild conditions too.

Our five day forecasts and warnings will provide you with the best possible guidance on any periods of cold weather, frost or the likelihood of snow, giving detailed local information across the UK to help you make the most of the weather over the coming months.

I'm going to hope that by some twist of fate the science folks have it wrong and the eejits at the paper know something we don't. Wouldn't mind a good shoulder high snow winter of camping.

You'll always look cool with an ice axe strapped to your rucksack (except in Summer!) , 2 will be just awesome  ;D . I've been trawling ebay for a set of crampons, just in case  ;)
