Met Office winter forecast

Speakers:
Dr Matt Huddleston, Climate Change Scientist, Met Office
Dr Richard Graham, senior members of the seasonal forecasting team, Met Office

Met Office experts came to the Science Media Centre to offer their weather forecast for winter 2006/7. They discussed the possibilities for the coming months and the likelihood of a warmer/colder than average or wetter/drier than average winter. The odds were pretty even for all outcomes this year so as tradition has it, anything could happen with regard to the British weather! The forecasters also discussed the imminent consequences of Hurricane Gordon.
