You thought this Summer was bad?!

Long range weather forecaster James Madden (of ExactaWeather.com) has updated his forecast for the forthcoming Winter:

...Expect the 2011-2012 winter to follow a similar pattern in terms of how November and December was in 2010 for the vast majority of this winter. It will be exceptionally cold and snowy with well below average temperatures. I fully expect to see records broken with the highlands of Scotland being once again particularly hard hit. It is therefore vital to start preparing now in terms of high energy bills and raising awareness amongst the most vulnerable and elderly people of society...

Brrrr-illiant. :(

Sorry, I don't buy it, sounds a little like a PR exercise to promote themselves knowing most people won't remember that far along. (I'm a cynic!)

They haven't managed to get the forecast right even 24 hours ahead many many times this year, I'm not trusting one that far ahead...

With the chronic amount of pollution being pumped into the air by China and the US into the atmosphere, every drop of rain has to form on a speck of that pollution, it seems most of it is being dumped on the UK.

I am not sure what this winter is going to bring, though my gut feeling is yet more rain and not so cold... just miserable conditions

the 2011-2012 winter
This was last winter. The upcoming winter is the one spanning 2012-2013.

He wasn't far off though.
