However, we did also state in our early November forecast that:
"a brief period of moderation can’t be ruled out about mid-month (normal winter conditions), with the potential for some EXTREMELY WINDY conditions to develop at times",
Although this period of moderation has been less brief than originally anticipated, it certainly has been extremely windy for this forecasting period as suggested.
The Met Office also forecast cold to very cold for December after our forecast was issued

Exacta Weather does not receive any kind of government/public funding whatsoever, yet our long-range forecasts and methodology proves far more successful than the waste of space number crunchers! Please see link below:
