Met Office predictions

Just days ago I posted on a how veteran German Die Welt journalist Ulli Kulke was amazed at how supposedly one of the world's best meteorological outfits, the Met Office of England, had botched 13 of the last 14 annual forecasts. Read here.

Kulke accused the Met Office of "systematic false alarms", saying they "refuse to accept the reality" of no warming and that it was "stunning" that they "never learn."

Today Paul Homewood's site features an article that focuses on the very competence of the Met Office Director asking: Can Slingo Get Anything Right? Homewood writes:
Last April, Julia Slingo told us that 'climate change was loading the dice towards freezing, drier weather.'

Apparently, she actually meant milder, wetter weather."
Benny Peiser at the Warming Policy Foundation site has just published a far more comprehensive list of botched Met Office predictions, the latest being the forecast for this winter:
Met Office winter forecast:For the December-January-February period as a whole there is a slight signal for below-average precipitation."
Last summer the UK Spectator wrote a blistering piece that claimed the Met Office had "lost touch with reality" and that "ideology has corrupted a valuable British institution." It adds:
Last year, it forecast a 'drier than average' spring - before another historic deluge that was accompanied by the coldest temperatures for 50 years. Never has the Met Office had more scientists and computing power at its disposal - yet never has it seemed so baffled by the British weather.

But there is no paradox. It is precisely the power of this technology in harnessing climate scientists' assumptions about global warming that has scuppered the Met Office's predictions - and made it a propagandist for global warming alarmism."
Finally Tallbloke here writes that Met Office predictions on sea level rise are equally deplorable.
