Pull Seasonal Forecasting

 

It is with mixed feelings here at Positive Weather Solutions, that we receive the news that the Met Office have decided to pull their seasonal forecasts.  Surely, it is their duty to continue generating these important forecasts, and simply do as we have done at PWS in the past, work on the formula to get it right.  We openly admit to the inaccuracy of our early long range forecasts predictions, but this has not stopped us tirelessly working to get them as accurate as possible, and for the last 18 months, we have achieved this.  So, on the one hand, we acknowledge a graceful retreat from the limelight by the Met Office having made so many mistakes with their long range forecasts for UK, but on the other hand, we just wish they'd not 'throw their toys out of the pram', and keep pressing on with the LRF's; it is their duty to the government and people of Britain to do so.  All we have asked for is a voice in the LRF field, to be heard along with all the other forecasters who made these predictions, and one less voice, (the Met Office), can only be detrimental to that.
