The UK Met Office appears to have ‘disappeared’ their winter forecast - WUWT

On July 23, 2009 the UK Met Office issued their infamous winter forecast, ahead of the coldest winter in 50 years. It read:

“"…Early indications are that winter temperatures are likely to be near or above average over much of Europe including the UK. For the UK, Winter 2009/10 is likely to be milder *(and wetter) than last year “.

This was recorded by Piers Corbyn at Weather Action and several other sites on July 23.

I remember reading the article on the Met Office web site at the time. But something funny happened on December 30, 2009. The Met Office over wrote that link with a new article titled “Forecast for the rest of Winter 2009/10″ which has no mention of the original prediction. It now reads:

…for the rest of winter, over northern Europe including the UK, the chance of colder conditions is now 45%; there is a 30% chance of average and a 25% chance of milder conditions.

It's official: This winter was the coldest for more than 30 years by Fiona Macrae, Daily Mail

It will come as little surprise to millions of frost-bitten Britons, apart from possibly those at the Met Office.

This winter was the coldest for more than 30 years, official figures show.

Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK's average a chilly 1.51C (34.72F), making it the deepest freeze since 1978-1979.

And in Scotland and Northern Ireland it was the hardest winter since 1962-63 when snow covered much of the UK from Boxing Day to late March.

Altnaharra in northern Scotland recorded this winters' lowest temperature, with the mercury plummeting to minus 22.3C (minus 8.14F) on the morning of January 8th.

NO SALT AGAIN AS SNOW LOOMS by John Ingham, Daily Express

BRITAIN faces the risk of renewed snow chaos after councils admitted yesterday that salt supplies are “stretched”.

With heavy snow forecast from tomorrow until the end of the week, councils revealed they may need to share salt with neighbouring authorities if stocks get low.

One source warned: “This is serious” while the Local Government Association cautioned that everyone, including central government and the Highways Agency is going to “have to carefully manage the way they use salt”.

It said councils are replenishing salt stocks but stressed: “They can only restock as fast as salt suppliers can dig salt out of the ground.” The warning came as the Met Office issued an advisory of “severe or extreme weather”, forecasting up to six inches of snow across the South-east on Thursday and up to four inches on Friday.

It warned next week could bring “more substantial” snowfalls as weather fronts move in.

You Could Not Make It Up: Siberian cold likely to bring sub-zero temperatures and snow by Paul Simons: Updated by Piers Corbyn & Stephen Wilde

The following extract COULD run into trouble for the MET OFFICE, they are quoted as saying that they can predict weather months in advance, and yet they DID NOT MENTION THIS FORECAST LAST WEEK!!!

Unlike the earlier part of winter, though, this next freeze was forecast by the Met Office months ago, thanks to an extraordinary chain reaction in the atmosphere across the globe.

The story begins with El Niño, the big warming of tropical seas under way in the Pacific. So much hot air soared up from the Pacific it punched through into the stratosphere and dislocated winds 20-50km high.

On January 20 this colossal jolt sent unusually warm air flooding into the stratosphere over the Arctic, where temperatures in the stratosphere soared by 40C in just a few days. The intensely cold stratosphere air normally over the Arctic was shunted over Europe instead. Eventually that cold stratosphere rippled down into the lower atmosphere, flipping our winds from west to east — and easterly winds in winter usually give us our coldest weather.

Met Office to look at more information in forecasts after 'barbecue summer' by Louise Gray, The Telegraph

Friday, February 5th 2010, 6:48 PM EST

The Met Office has said it was wrong to tell people to expect a barbecue summer and a warm winter and it looking at including more information on forecasts.

Julia Slingo, Chief Scientist at the Met Office, said the national weather service had let the public get the wrong message when it predicted a "barbecue" summer earlier this year and then revised the forecast when July and August turned out to be wet.

Wjat makes the Met Office forecast seasons of unusual warmth while the weather obstinately provides record-breaking cold

Barely a month after last predicting, on November 28, that Britain would enjoy "a milder than average winter", the Met Office last week came in for yet another mighty pasting, for failing to forecast the renewed snowfalls and freezing temperatures which brought traffic to a halt again in much of the country. In some northern towns, roadways were so icy that people had to crawl across them on hands and knees.

Two independent forecasters who did foresee the return of Arctic weather, and are predicting that there will be more, are Britain's Piers Corbyn (who relies on solar activity for much of his prediction) and the US meteorologist Joe Bastardi of AccuWeather, who largely bases his forecasts on movements of air and ocean currents. Unlike the UK Met Office, of which both are highly critical, neither has been blinded by imagining that rising levels of carbon dioxide play a key part in shaping the weather.
