A report in today's Daily Telegraph ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/10120055/Met-Office-to-hold-summit-on-unusual-UK-weather.html states that the UK Met Office is going to hold a special meeting to discuss the 'unusual weather' which has hit the UK in recent years.

This seems to be (or at least I hope it is) more of an over enthusiastic journalist seeking out a story where there really is none.

It would not be unusual to gather together a group of researchers to decide on which areas of meteorlogiy they will focus their efforts in the coming months and years.

The fact that the UK has been cold and wet really is nothing unusual. Weather patterns constantly change and although we seem to be in a current fix of periods of wet, dry, cold and warm, it's no different to anything that has been experienced in the past.

The skeptic in me does wonder if this could be a way of offsetting some of the inevitable fallout from global warming/climate change theory if global temperatures don't start rising soon (i.e. let's focus on some real research which can show an immediate return); after all, that elephant is no longer only in the corner of the room, it's beginning to wave! Shurley shum mishtake?
