Their predictions never come true. Would trust how many white hairs fall off on my dog's tail on Halloween more than it. If i had the $$, would go around town buying all these up, then have a massive bon fire somewhere. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chester B 3,135 Report post Posted August 6, 2021 If you look up the percentage accuracy they have over the years it’s pathetic. Have to agree with @Silas_Sancona 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DreaminAboutPalms 439 Report post Posted August 15, 2021 Its usually like one out of 7 regions that they make predictions for will be relatively accurate. Half will be the complete opposite. I have family in Midwest and last year they called for tons of snow and colder than usual and it was the opposite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Palms 1,393 Report post Posted August 15, 2021 I have a bad feeling about this coming winter, for North America and Europe at least. Quite a few models suggesting stratospheric warming in December which can lead to polar vortex's. Worryingly a lot of the models apparently show this set up heading into winter. January could be a bad one for us here and February could be a bad one in the States. Of course it's too far ahead to predict, but given how bad 2021 has been so far for us here in the UK, I am expecting this coming winter to be a bad one too and colder than average.
