The Met Office have seen "Red" (take action) in Northern parts of the UK, as the storm Piers Corbyn predicted a couple of months ago, and also at the "Climate Fools Day" meeting on the 28th October (see
YouTube) begins to take shape. The Met Office do NOT use information from Piers Corbyn & WeatherAction.com service and yet it is available, why?
The public weather service is losing out, the weather forecast would be far more efficient and useful in times like this. The Met Office should be held to account for ignoring long range forecasts that are more superior then the system they use.
It now looks like the chance of a "
North Sea Storm Surge" will be towards Northern Europe rather then the East Coast of the British Isles, more on that to follow.

Alert as flood risk increases
Severe weather warnings have been issued in Cumbria as people brace themselves for flooding, with 200mm (7.9in) of rain possible in areas.
Eleven flood warnings are currently in place at Keswick, Cockermouth, Kendal, Egremont, Eamont Bridge, and Burneside.
The Environment Agency said persistent downpours on Thursday would add to ground saturated by overnight rain.
The Met Office issued the weather alerts following forecasts of strong winds which are also expected.
