The new figures, which show a 60 per cent to 80 per cent chance of warmer than average temperatures this winter, were ridiculed last night by independent forecasters. Positive Weather Solutions senior forecaster Jonathan Powell said: “It baffles me how the Met Office can predict a milder than average winter when all the indicators show this winter will have parallels to the last one. They are standing alone here, as ourselves and other independent forecasters are all predicting a colder than average winter.”Roger Hooton of Nuriootpa, South Australianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479077.post-31673868003639124042010-12-23T05:29:41.324+00:002010-12-23T05:29:41.324+00:00The Independent March 20 2000
BRITAIN’S winter end...<b>The Independent March 20 2000</b><br />BRITAIN’S winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture, as warmer winters – which scientists are attributing to global climate change – produce not only fewer white Christmases but few white Januaries and Februaries. According to David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.Roger Hooton of Nuriootpa, South Australianoreply@blogger.com
