Thank you Scott for your kind words. Actually Scott, the weather is very
similar to teaching children or indeed adults, the former I used to do a
number of years ago. In the classroom you have a collection of individuals
with an infinite number of possibilities or outcomes. In reality there was
an almost complete predictability. The weather to me behaves in an analogous
pattern once one has built up experience of the workings of the atmosphere
over a number of years.
My methods are very simple but they have been very effective at times. In
2003 I think I am right in saying all the main warm spells were spot on and
all the cold spells for 2004. This year it has been as you have said quite
successful temperature wise and the dry winter and spring accurately
predicted.

On another point Weather eye magazine number 17 is now out and the last have
been posted today. Thanks for the very favourable comments so far received
about the issue which ranges from the 1607 Great Waves to the 2005 Carlisle
Flood and there may even be some stratocumulus undulatus as well.

I've been very impressed with Ian Currie's long-range forecast success
over the past few months. Does anyone (Ian?) know his methods of
prediction?
