Well duh. They obviously consulted with princess charles and the great professor of climate, algore prior to making their winter predictions last November. Let's see, forecast for the Sonoran Desert. Mostly dry and cool in the winter. Mostly dry and REAL friggin' hot in the summer. Bingo. Now I can make some big bucks as a weather prognosticator.

The Met, the UK’s national weather service, has had a terrible record forecasting long term for the past 10 or 15 years. The main factor in their forecasts is global warming and everything is slanted that way. In 2000 the whole weather establishment in the UK were predicting snow would be a thing of the past in a few short years, and we know how that worked out for them. Not surprising at all they missed another winter forecast, the only difference is that people are starting to hold them responsible for their wacky predictions.

Because, global warming.
Nevermind that it is bunk, they still believe it wholeheartedly and will base & bias their predictions because of it.

“Met Office forecast, 23 November 2014”

I’m a little confused. The article says the prediction was issued Nov 23, 2014. Did they mean 2013?
