Are you speaking of

MIAMI Hurricane Bill became a dangerous Category 4 storm with top sustained winds near 135 mph early Wednesday August 19, 2009 and forecasters said it could get even stronger as it howls over the open Atlantic.

Your saying this storm will die out and do zero damage right?

Someone posted this to last month' s video.

"Thanks for the info. How accurate is this prediction? I'm gonna get married around mid July and? from the looks of this prediction, it's gonna be a wet one. :("

Just in case anyone was wondering how WES5578 arrived at the conclusion "he is even selling predictions on wedding dates."

I remember Corbyn predicting one long wet summer for the UK and a few other places. I was not surprised by the original post because summers include a lot of weddings

You're saying a few hundred parts per million (or < 0.05%) of CO2, a relatively minor greenhouse gas, will obviously have a bigger effect than a 0.1% variation in the sun!

For comparison, the warming of the 20th century was 0.6K.

I didn't expect such a crap argument from even you!

Water vapour?

Read more; type less. Or we have a never-ending "Yes he is"/"No he isn't".

Go to the weatheraction website & then Forecasts. Are you saying that by your understanding he claims a resolution of 1 day?

@frog

do you have a brain?

not to worry, next week back to the job.

he IS predicting weather on a specific date,look at the forecast for the uk,3 warnings in august already wrong..he is even selling predictions on wedding dates.

he does not mention his failures, and when paul simmons asked he banned the use of any extracts by him.

further more his 'theory' is flawed at least,the sun varies only 0.1 of a percent in activity.

other factors are much bigger such as co2 and volcano's.

I'd actually be more wary of the forecasters that have the slick production armed with smoke and mirrors (like the IPCC for example). The 'rawness' of Piers' presentations actually gives it more merit in my eyes. He has a track record of predictive success, unlike our mate Wes, who obviously is not putting his PhD in climatology to good use!!!

[nickcdart]

Excellent and correct so far

[FrogJacuzzi]

What are you sources WES? Where are you getting your data on the weather that has occurred?

Instead of just trusting Corbyn, shall we just trust you? Thanks, by the way, for explaining to everyone what science is. Not patronising or anything.

He doesn't 'call dates periods'. weatheraction (.com) explains his terminology and confidence levels in some detail. Again, if it isn't a video you can't be bothered!

This is seasonal. He DOES mean periods, NOT dates! Finer resolution is not possible.

[FrogJacuzzi]

Aren't there enough forums to debate these issues without attacking the guy's work at its outlet? He appears to lack resources as it is, at least for video production.

How about some constructive advice regarding the production quality?

I think we all agree that so far, it's more than a bit flaky -- and improving only slowly.
