"Weird" Weather
In recent days, I am seeing more and more reports of "weird" weather in the UK in the news and tabloids, BBC, Sky, Guardian, Telegraph, etc. Has the weather really been that "weird"? or are the warmists gearing up for another "this is proof of global warming yada yada..!"? Plus, we having had a global warming thread in ages!

Typicaly British I would say
4 years ago I remember it snowing heavily in the SE for about 30 minutes at the end of October as I was sorting out my car insurance with the Indian call centre, they ended up putting me on speaker and singing happy birthday to me after they'd worked out it was the same day, most surreal moment ever hearing them singing and then looking out of the window to se it pi$$ing down with snow !

I saw a few scientists were sent to prison in Georgia? For not adequately forecasting the possibility of a earthquake ( which actually happened in this case)

The UK has some of the weirdest weather anyway, one of the reasons is that we are about the only place that has all 4 climate fronts, Oceanic, Continental, Equatorial and Polar, they have a tendency to converge on the UK as we are a little Island.
I believe there are no other places on the planet that has all 4 climate types and once that lot meet you get dodgy/interesting weather.

Got up this morning in the Limousin region of France, couldn't see more than 50 feet with fog.
By ten o'clock it was blue sky and warm, by mid-afternoon we saw 26 deg
Been lovely the last three days, but not only has it been one of the wettest Octobers on record, but also THE warmest.
So yes, weird weather.

The UK is subjected to frequent changes of air mass between the Polar Low and the Tropical High because of its position. This is why we have such variable weather and also because the movement of those air masses and the weather systems within them is entropic, it is very difficult to forecast ahead.

...aaahh, but i don't try to "forecast" either the weather or the climate, thus never get it wrong
Unlike the umpteen billion pound met office and the like, who can't get the weather right two days ahead never mind the lack of warming over the last 16 years
First it was "warming", until warming never happened
Then it was "climate change", until the climate stopped changing
Now it is "weirding", to explain, well, just about anything?

Yep had loads of massive spiders in the house great big tarantula sized things, even the dogs won't try to eat them any more and now just stamp on them.

Anyway, it's been sunny today. There's definitely something weird going on.

And yet 'Mystic Met' extrapolates from those same useless weather forcasting models to tell us whats going to happen to the climate 50 years from now. Of course its all positive feedbacks with a large dose of doom and gloom too. I call it bollocks.

I can't find a link but I heard that the recent weather is having a devastating impact on bird migration. Birds coming in are exhausted and many don't make it and for those going out the usual patterns are different with many dieing at sea. Sad.

There has been climate change to a degree but that may well be down to cyclical changes which have happened often enough in the past.
They have honestly reported that there has not been any global warming for some 15 years now which can only be regarded as a good thing. How will the politicians justify their green taxes now I wonder!
Weather and its causes are entropic which makes it very difficult to forecast accurately. It is unfair to blame the forecasters if what they say does not happen.
I think if you tried the job you would become "hairless" at your own failures, but you might even be prepared to cut the forecasters a bit of slack if you did.
You are being unfair to those who do their best at what is a very difficult job which can never be guaranteed.
