Re: British Met Office predicts extreme cold winter

Met Office Winter prediction

This is based on the phenomenon called the NAO or North Atlantic Osscillation. If the Oscillation is positive or that there is a higher pressure around the azores compared to a lower pressure around greenland/iceland then the winters tend to be warmer and wetter. This year the oscillation is believed to be Negative and as such a case where the winter is colder and drier.

Previous times where the oscillation was negative was 1960 and also the early 1940s. This oscillation was one reason for the defeat of Hitler and the Nazis as the winter those years was so cold due to it and they had just invaded the USSR.

Anyway the plan is with Britain critically short on gas supplies (11 day supply) that a 3 day week may have to be taken out to ensure gas supplies are rationed.
