Normal Weather For The Time of Year

You won't sell many papers with the above headline so, because a very small part of the country, predominantly the more hilly areas, is going to get snow, which is not abnormal at this time of year, we get headlines such as "Britain to Freeze in Blizzards", etc.


It's the same hunt for sensationalism that led to accusations of Covid modellers being rubbish for having the temerity to publish an upper limit to Covid cases, as well as lower limits bases on action being taken (which was), and certain media outlets focusing solely on the upper limit so as to sell more papers.
