Well done Met Office

 

 I'm so glad the Met Office warned us of the terrible heatwave, I'm covered in factor 50 and wearing 3 sunhats... trouble is I'm also wearing a jumper and a waterproof jacket.  You see as usual the "forecast" is a joking one and 100% wrong as usual!.

 Yes they got the heatwave right for Europe, sadly the Met Office is British and from their website " The Met Office is the UK’s national weather service. It provides weather and climate-related services to the Armed Forces, government departments, the public, civil aviation, shipping, industry, agriculture and commerce."  Note the words UK there, not Europe, Not Austraila, the bloody UK.

 The Met office was set up in 1854 by Vice-Admiral Robert Fitzroy, since then is been used for forecasting the weather in one form or another.  The first public forecast was in 1861.

 Churchhill got a reliable forecast for D-day on the 6th June 1944, yet today nearly 80 years laterwith computers, and satellites the "foorecast" is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot.

So well done Met Office, your wrong as usual.. Next time I want to know theactual  weather I'll call the dog in and see if he's wet or dry.  lets face it guessing would be right 50% of the time.
