According to the Telegraph, the strike may compromise the accuracy of weather forecasts.
So I don’t suppose we’ll notice any difference!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
“Met Office staff will strike for the first time in living memory this week”
Well I am getting old and my memory is not what it was – sorry what was the question again? BUT I can think of three times in my living memory – the last was a while ago now so I suppose Victoria Ward might be quite young.
As for whether we will notice – I doubt it, there is loads of free stuff about base on American forecast data which is freely available on the web and used by a myriad of forecast services.
Sounds like the US where unless the POTUS shuts down War Memorials, no one notices the government was not funded and has “shut down”. 🙂
I suppose that’ll bugger-up their Climate Change prognostications, and add a day or so to the hiatus.
I’ve always found “heads or tails”, on the weather forecast, to work as well as they do, anyway! (and it’s more fun)….LOL!
The accuracy of weather forecast may improve!

I suppose I’ll just look out my window in the morning to see what the weather is.
UKMO staff have yet to realise that it is their employer that is fuelling their cost of living through its lying ways. Sayings that come to mind “What goes around, comes around” and “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”
Good !! About time they let people see how superfluous they are. I hope they stay out for months !!
Will you notice a 3 hour break on Twitter where Richard Betts and MO colleagues stop pushing out Climate Alarmism propaganda ?
I always get my forecast at http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/
Good grief Charlie Brown: Now we will not know what snow is. …..;^D
I see the Lynmouth disaster has been rewritten as a flood: it used to be a landslide.
How on Earth will we cope?!
In the possible absence of the Met Office, I am happy to report that I am able to provide a replacement forecast for the Summer of 2015 :
Temperature :
There will be a 35% probability of temperatures being above average.
There will be a 35% probability of temperatures being close to average.
There will be a 30% probability of temperatures being below average.
Precipitation :
There will be a 35% probability of precipitation being above average.
There will be a 35% probability of precipitation being close to average.
There will be a 30% probability of precipitations being below average.
Interesting chart from the Jewel in the Crown:-
“Understanding variations in the rate of global warming”
“February 2015 – Met Office scientists have studied how internal variations in the climate might contribute to a temporary slow-down in global warming. ”

A truly amazing admission on their part. I note they are quick to say that the leveling could continue another 5 years and then rapid warming, made worse by AGW (all the CO2 in the air). I presume they are hoping no one figures out if nature can overcome AGW for 20 years, there’s really no reason to believe AGW has much influence anyway. I guess they are hoping their little addition will keep everyone from actually thinking about what the study shows.
Thanks for the link.
