Good people of Britain...........PANIC

[Kenny]

Panicking over nothing then. FFS Sniffer, have a word...

 

[Sniffer]

Phew. F&%?$@g loony left Guardian!

I'm also told that any snow falling over the Scottish Mountains later should melt.

The odds *you* will be hit by the falling Russian spacecraft, incidentally, are nearer 1 in 2.2 trillion. So don't worry too much.

The odds someone will be hit by the falling Russian spacecraft (if it doesn't totally burn up): 1 in 3,200

So there is a chance?

Sniffer, am I safe in darkest Lincolnshire?

No Frank, my weather predictions state that isolated showers are expected this afternoon however it doesn't categorically rule out that these may include parts of Russian spacecraft. Snow is unlikely though.

So it will not snow, but a Russian spacecraft might come through my roof. Why do I not feel re-assured...!

Could just be ashflakes though, so cheer up

I especially liked:

Carry a bottle of water with you at all times. Throw it at public address systems that instruct you to carry a bottle of water with you in hot weather.

2. Avoid the Daily Express, which will be full of reports of “KILLER HEAT” and “MELTDOWN BRITAIN”. Anything above 25C constitutes killer heat for the Express.

I believe they were saying it will hit 40 tomorrow.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They did make the forty degree call this morning, and also said that the heatwave will last two weeks. Quite where they got that from I dunno as every forecast says thundery breakdown Thursday night or Friday.

I would also be amazed if we made forty degrees. That is hotter than this country has ever reached. I think 38.5 degrees is the record. 32-34 degrees tomorrow I have been informed by a reliable source.

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well, definitely a meteorologist. Squeeze's ex-husband is a very highly respected weather chap, and when he tells her or me what the weather is likely to do he is usually freakishly accurate.*


*Except with snow. Predicting exactly where bucketloads of snow will dump is very difficult to do apparently. Not a problem for the next 48 hours. Even my meagre weather knowledge tells me snow is rather unlikely before the weekend.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

It often reaches 40 degrees in darkest Lincolnshire during the summer months. Though that is on the Fahrenheit scale...!

 

[Jolemai]

Isn't this thread about snow?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Isn't this thread about snow?

If only.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Weather panic really. If it drops below five degrees the Express tell us to expect a three month blizzard, above 25 and we are all going to die from heat stroke. The "weather men" they ask to make these predictions are universally ridiculed in the profession but that doesn't seem to matter.

Anthony Watts?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Leon somebody or other is often the go-to for the Mail and the Express. Absolute bellend.
