Climate Change - Case Closed !

[subsub]

Yes the earth goes through cycles.
But this is the first one to be intensified and accelerated by human action.

Meant to say, was up in London on Weds. BBC weather forecast said light cloud and 17. Pissed it down nearly all day with the needle nudging 13.5

It didn't 'piss it down all day' in London on Wednesday. It was dull and cloudy, with a bit of rain (as predicted by BBC weather forecast on Weds morning, which I checked).

So, you are calling me a liar then Subs. The BBC forecast I looked up on their website on Tuesday said 17 degs and light cloud for Weds. It was pissing down all the way up in the car from half eight until half ten. I parked the car in car par 1 at the O2 and walked to North Greenwich tube and got soaked. I then caught the tube to South Kensington, and as the train was travelling under the ground I couldn't swear that it was raining all of the 35 mins, but when I alighted it was pissing it.

Whilst at the V&A museum it was pissing it. I know this because the cafe is under shelter but outdoors. I then caught the train back to Westminster and it was pissing it. When I came out of the tube station at Westminster it was pissing it. I got soaked again walking to the Abbey. When I came out it was pissing it. Absolutely soaked again waking over Parliament Square. Got on the tube again and went back to North Greenwich. When I came up the escalators it was still pissing it. Mrs Z then spent the rest of the day moaning about what the rain had done to her hair

I have no idea what part of London you were in on Wednesday, but you were very fortunate. Then again maybe I dreamt the whole day including the excellent Jeff Lynne gig.

ps It had stopped when I came out at 22:15

Climate change that the BBC didn't take account of?

What precisely has the weather in London on Wednesday got to do with climate change?
Unless of course you were merely being jocular.

[Zambo]

It was sad jocularly, and in view of Hillman's staunch defence of the BBC and it's weather forecasts. Maybe he thinks they were duped by man made climate change.

Could this be some more 'evidence'

No, I think you're exaggerating to prove a point.
I watched the forecast on Weds morning and it said it would be cloudy with some rain; not a biblical deluge but rain nonetheless.
But as others have said, not sure what your point is, other than another tiresome pop at the BBC.

[Zambo]

Whatever

I definitely think that the BBC can use the excuse that he shocking forecast v the actual was down to a sudden shift in climate change.

[m4rkb]

I've always suspected there is a two tier forecast system. One for those who really need to know and one for the plebs.

But I absolutely agree with Zambo on this.

Good to see the DM using the VentuSky app on it's website a proper do it yourself and very accurate forecasting system.

[Zambo]

It makes me laugh how far some people will go to defend the BBC. I'm getting drenched between half ten and half four and I'm being told it wasn't raining. Must have been pigeon pee

[m4rkb]

The more they get the forecast wildly wrong, the more they are entitled to claim how unpredictable the weather is. If you want it accurate we need to tax you more and give it to our pals in the green industry.

I'd say this is a healthy degree of cynicism to have.

[subsub]

I'm getting drenched between half ten and half four and I'm being told it wasn't raining

Never said it wasn't raining.
Why are you just making up things to suit your agenda?

[m4rkb]

He's not making it up, you are. He got drenched you claim it wasn't raining.

[subsub]

He got drenched you claim it wasn't raining

No, I didn't.
I said it didn't "piss it down all day" as Zambo claimed.

Some piss with those chips?

[Zambo]

Great, we agree Subs. It was raining and I got wet every time I stepped out in the streets of London over a six hour period. This was contrary to the BBC weather forecast I saw the day before. I don't really see what point there is in arguing about these facts.

Just to keep the thread on track though, in your opinion, did this discrepancy have anything to do with climate change.

[Zambo]

Who's fault's this then?

Brexit
Global Warming
Arron Banks
Snowflakes
