The UK Met Office has had to apologise for the monumental cock-up with predicting the weather just a few months ahead.

Hottest summer in years they claimed 2015 would be but it has turned out to be 'warm' on just a handful of days and pissed it down on all the rest.

One month's rain in 24 hours!

Apparently El Nino didn't do what we thought it would. No I suppose it didn't.

That's the problem with long-range (years, not months) weather prediction even with billion pound of computers: if you put skewed ideas (climate change) into the programme you can't blame the computer when it all goes tits-up!

I think Gonzalez shout be a little more guarded. El Nino will behave how it wants, not what a 'minister' thinks.
