Feeling a bit left out with nothing too much to moan about...until now. But
has anyone noticed how the lack of enunciation by radio newsreaders has led
to a serious new condition 'stormophilia' sweeping the country today?

No not really.

It might be an appropriate term for some in this group.

What HAS annoyed me is the weather forecast by Accuweather in my morning
paper referring to "Tropical Rainstorm Ophelia". I know it will have a
lot of rain associated with it, but as well as not being an official
term it seems to put the emphasis in the wrong place.

Also in the regional forecast for "London, Cent S England, Channel Is,
SW England, E England, SE England, E Anglia, Midlands" we find "A fresh
to storm southwesterly wind". I know they only have a limited amount of
space and so have to lump areas together, but what's the use of that?!
Anyone in the SW expecting only a fresh wind would get a nasty shock,
while East Anglia certainly won't see storm force winds.
