The Met Office Director was on BBC this morning and when asked to explain why they had said it was going to be a "mild winter" he replied "long-term forecasts are very difficult to predict and it's the roll of the dice..."

So now I get it. Picture the scene. Met Office staff rolling dice.

He went on to say that in 10 or more years time forecasts will be much more accurate. Which is a great help now!

Fact is they get it wrong particularly when it comes to local forecasts - on a regular basis and with some very large deltas.

I think the only reason to watch the weather nowadays is for some of the presenters and I'll leave it at that!
