You mean like predicting that second week or so in september will see high
winds and rain,?
or like 10th to 15th december will see cold snap or like saying second or
third week in february will see very cold snap ? or like saying 10th to
20th july will see hot weather and near cloudless skies for about 3 to 4
days ?
It's easy to [prdict september weather cus warm spell is followed by wet and
windy spell as trails of cloud spin off across the atlantic from tropical
storms hitting USA and following east coast then cross to us. This follows
tropical storm/hurricane season across the pond.
Nevertheless, thanks for warning will bring lilies in containers into
greenhouse for protection.

I found this on a website at work:
Weathermen put the UK on 'amber alert'
The Met Office has put the UK energy industry on 'amber alert' for a
colder than average winter.

It has written to energy companies and many other contingency
planners because, it says, "a prolonged, severe winter is one of the
biggest
threats to the efficient day-to-day running of the country".

According to the weather experts, the long-range forecast signals a
dry winter across much of the UK.

Since 1995-96, winters in the UK have been mild, giving many the
impression that mild winters are now the norm. Even an average winter
could
come as a surprise to many, says the Met Office, which is now based in
Devon.
