Met Office warns of 'multi-hazard' weather event this week as Storm Goretti named
Weather forecasters have issued a warning about a 'multi-hazard' event hitting the UK this week. And a new storm has also been named.
The Met Office says the current cold snap will continue before a deep area of low pressure threatens to bring further snow, strong winds and heavy rain to southern parts of the UK from Thursday night. Meteo France has named the low Storm Goretti, as the worst of the wind impacts are expected to be felt across northern France.
Infantilising everything, even the weather, isn't likely to end well. Pseudo-technical language which isn't technical and barely counts as language because it's a language-game fronting an agenda, that doesn't help either.

If it's going to be wet, blowy, and cold shouldn't it be Storm Starmer?
Anon - ha ha, good thinking, yes it should.
It'll be a race between the Starmer algorithm and the AI algorithm as to which grabs us first.
Tammly - maybe it's the same thing - Starmbot will merely be replaced by Starmbot II. Forever.
Why name normal January weather after some sort of flavourless, pale, insipid foreign sort of lager?
Perhaps it coincides with the one-pint edict being shoved through our useless 'parliament...'
Does anybody trust the Met Office any more? The Beeb dont. Our farmers dont. I am sure that our airlines, fishermen and military. dont.
The Met Office is reduced to being the shepherd boy on the hill, shouting "wolf, wolf". With as much credibility.
Try.

It seems to be accurate .Put the cursor on your home, zoom, move the map as usual
Scrobs - I haven't kept track of the one-pint edict, I tend to assume everything they do is designed to make life worse.
Doonhamer - we still check our local Met Office forecasts, but only to compare them with others. Then we look out of the window.
Yes that dynamic wind map does seem to be accurate. I've come across a number of useful weather tools such as the app which comes with the iPhone. The Netweather radar app is okay too.
My favorite for weather: https://www.ventusky.com/?p=52.0;-2.1;5&l=rain-3h
there is a choice of models including UKMO if you care.
And https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forecasts/uk/14-day/27364~Stowell is good for radar and jet stream forecast.
djc - thanks for the links, I've bookmarked the Netweather site, it's a well presented format. I've had the Netweather radar map on my phone since someone told me about it in the blog comments and I have a vague idea that it was you!
