I was just tidying up my weather links and happened to click on Bill Giles
90 day outlook. The BBC weather centre have finally decided not to update
this feature anymore and just provide a link instead. Have they finally
realised what a complete load of crap his forecasts were. First of all he
originally forecasted an extremely cold January but then decided to change
his mind to very mild. Likewise with February, he was forecasting the
coldest spell of winter around the 15th of the month but his February
forecast now looks decidedly mild.

A trifle tardy, I venture to suggest. Over lunch many moons ago I strongly
urged Andrew Lane, the BBC Weather Centre's manager (or whatever the
title is now) that the Giles tosh should be discontinued. He agreed. That
was in August 2002. I would urge him now to discontinue the link as well.
