    Doom!

    UK weather: Big freeze to return ahead of below average winter say Met Office forecasters | Metro News

    It could be time to invest in a thicker pair of gloves, with three months of exceptionally cold weather on the way.

    The Met Office has warned the big freeze will begin next week, with temperatures set to plummet to below the winter average.

    Forecasters have predicted this could be one of the coldest winters in modern times, with above-average snowfall and bitter Arctic gales predicted.

    They believe the below-average conditions could last for the next three months following a relatively mild spell in southern England.
    What they actually say is:

    The Met Office!

    The current outlook for December-January-February says the chance of the coldest scenario happening is between 20 and 25% and the chances that the period will fall into the warmest scenario is between 10 and 15%.

    So while uncertainty is quite large, below average temperatures are more likely than above average (for note, average maximum temperatures for the UK in winter are about 6.6C and average minimum temps are about 0.9C).
    Is there any wonder people stop reading newspaper!

    Metro is owned by the Wail's parent company and it's free. What did you expect, news?

      I love "Pearls before swine".

      Yesterday's penguin & polar bear strip was epic.
      I like the Rush Hour Crush. It's hilarious reading people's descriptions of themselves.

      For example, today's had a "girl with fire for hair" and a "tall scruffy guy who offered to throw himself in front of the next bus". Do us a favour next time mate, and follow through with your threat

        It must have been an epic journey for the two of them to meet up.

              I bet that snow leopard's pleased to be in the same enclosure as a deer.

                According to the Daily Wail it's really time to panic.

                  I hadn't realised previously that "Rollerball" was a documentary.
                  Plan B; holidays for penguins and polar bears in Freezing Britain. They could come and do pantomime.
