Even if none of his predictions eventuate, he’ll have generated traffic to his site and maybe sold a few subscriptions. That is the big issue in the UK. So if we take the moon as representing (the weather), we have a finger pointing at it (the wind), we have rockets landing on it (the typhoon), we have meteorites striking it (lightning), and it has large temperature gradients (heat-wave & snow). 2000: 1 On this we said that we had a 60% confidence that England+Wales will be the wettest of the 247 Julys since 1766 (and 85% confident in wettest 5%). I don’t care if Piers is a member of the International Society of Dog Catchers, or a Noble Laureate, or Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx. The planets one hands down. I don’t suffer from Alzheimers (yet) and can remember enough detail to know whether he was right or wrong for my own satisfaction. “Terrible weather is coming the world over this July so WeatherAction has issued free summary long range forecasts for USA and for Europe…”.
It’s hot, pretty much as hot as it gets in the local climate here in Vienna, with occasional thunderstorms. But in no case do scientists say gosh, thanks for warning of things that didn’t happen, thank goodness that at least people were warned that there might actually be typhoons. I agree. Get the Egypt weather forecast. “Issued at – 05 Jul 2012, 13:47 That;s what counts these days. We are discussing daily clustering of flood events, one cannot see any daily detail whatsoever on monthly totals. *** And Piers shows a picture and gives a link to the extensive Colorado fires in his claim that he is correct. http://di2.nu/foia/foia2011/mail/4803.txt. I choose to pay for Piers forecasts, But at least I have that choice. He’s running a business from which he makes his living so he’s not going to give away his method. How far ‘out’ of a forecast period would you still count a ‘success’ – a day, a week, a month? But in any case, that’s not when he predicted the heavy rain, that was the 1st to the 4th. Valid to – 05 Jul 2012, 23:55
It sounds like the old song about “she could easily pass for 43, in the dusk with the light behind her” … details and broad brush strokes depend on the light and the eye of the beholder …. Without that this activity would have been ‘deceitful’, which is why I used the word.
However, we had 10 days of hot weather (23 – 27C) with no rain from 21st to 31st. I find it particularly deceitful how you use that image – with arrows and red encirclement of no apparent purpose because these indicators are now cut-off from the picture verification of that end of June forecast period to which they led – simply to support your side-show complaints of gawdiness. But you seem to be to willing dismiss the SLAT methodology in an imprecise science presumably because Piers presentation doesn’t conform to your sense of scientific impartiality. The Met Office has a basic description of rain radar technique for anyone wanting to brush up on how it works.
See forecast archive for samples. “There are, of course, severe storms and floods somewhere in the world every week,”
Do you realize how crazy that is, to call a forecast “successful”, not because it was a success, but because you missed it by an unspecified amount? Are you saying that if you predict “giant hail” you should get partial credit if there is hail? Cross posting – I agree with this 100%. If they are shown to be valid, even 80% of the time, they would be worthwhile to know? You could argue that that could have been achieved with standard meteorology, or that it is too vague to be useful, or that the extent of predicted weather extremes did not eventuate, but the general pattern looks accurate. correlations between solar activity and terrestrial weather related Alan the Brit says: We shall see what develops, if he wasn’t any good at it he would have gone out of business by now! The first few passes gave you a picture which became less ‘blocky’ with each pass, until eventually the full detail of the picture was shown after a few more passes. A few days ago a UNC Professor in the Biology Department even called my description of the principle of buoyancy (Archimedes’ Principle) “crazy logic.” From here: Nobody knows how bad one of these storms is going to be, or whether it will turn into a Derecho, but nobody else forecast that storm two weeks ahead either. His ability to predict extreme weather events is almost astounding. You can’t claim them after the fact as you wish.
It did happen! Noon to midnight?
On balance Pier was right.
The Met office never forecast this. Martin Gordon says for the UK I can’t see why Piers should apologize? Willis wrote, “Well, duh, of course you think that it is the “only reasonable metric”, because it is the only metric by which Piers is right.” He doesn’t do so … which as I said, makes my detector start to ring. P. Solar.. “False logic.
He has been banned from betting on the weather (presumably because he was consistently winning) and has frequently requested an impartial audit of his long range forecasts against others – and, as far as I know, no-one is willing to take him up on it. —————- Near as I can tell, none of them happened. w. … did you notice that his prediction was made on the 28th of June? My point here is not whether this specific forecast was right or wrong. He beats the UK BOM. I would assume the “‘Out of Control’ Forest Fires” in the US for July would not include the ones already burning?
Either what you bet on is right or it is wrong, and “close” doesn’t count. Piers doesn’t have the mountain of expensive kit and caboodle that the Met have at their disposal so cannot give more accurate detail, even nearer the event. Note the extreme events accuracy reports on the WeatherAction site were independently assessed so I don’t quite follow all this argument about (mis)counting typhoons or Tropical storms. This scored 2 ‘YES’s’ But as Alan the Brit says, if he wasn’t any good at it he wouldn’t still be in business. Look at the data, Agnostic. That is four separate times I discussed it over a space of five days, openly and clearly. Also His success in forecasting pressure areas and the jet stream would suggest he is correct that the sun plays a more significant part in climate and weather patterns than hitherto believed. David.. “I haven’t yet seen him put his hand up and say, ‘I got that one a bit wrong’.” RyanMaue: I agree completely. Boris says “It is time to consult once again the learned astrophysicist, Piers Corbyn. But I think I did better than Piers? The first one I bought predicted a “storm surge” in the North Sea, with flooding in Germany, Netherlands and Denmark, which didn’t materialize (there was a slightly higher tide in Bournemouth instead, if I remember rightly). There is a small band of thunderstorms across the bottom of his forecast area. Sometimes they can forecast the weather here and sometimes they can’t: if it a large mass of rain heading my way, then they might get it right. An 85% confidence level tells you to expect the hit to be pretty much on one of those days. July 5, 2012 at 11:16 am In terms of weather bets when they were allowed we would under these sort of circumstances have a series of bets July 13, 2012 at 4:22 pm. The world would be a sadder and poorer place without these eccentrics. There were two. Then you say this => USA Its like complaining a punter who got the winning horse right but didn’t get the color of the jockey’s socks right. Looking at June 2012, 60% of days are forecast to be ‘R’. I don’t know why you can’t see this. 1 year. Anthony: Please check your e-mail. Read up on “confirmation bias”, it’s lethal. -I cant argue with that. Currently he makes predictions 30, 45, and 60 days in advance. That’s a whole three days in advance of the start of the period he is forecasting, which was July first to seventh. Severe Thunderstorms. As it stands I find what you did with our reportage of the end June forecast misleading whether intentional or not, and indeed Willis E. appears to have been misled and is using it as forecast for July! That doesn’t sound like a complete count to me, does it to you? Here’s the full list: In any case, Piers didn’t predict heavy rain on the 7th, he predicted it from the 1st to the 4th. Traditional meteorology is quite successful with current 5 day forecasts. Anthony; There are plenty of users and objective studies which show our WeatherAction forecasts have significant long range skill – ahead of all others – and really it is not our forecasts but your objectivity which is now being put to the test. That’s why YOU need to say what YOU consider to be reasonable accuracy especially in the context of long range forecasting, or at least agree something with Piers. If you really do believe in what you publish on your website and have serious concerns about the warmist agenda, shouldn’t you be supporting Piers instead of trying to catch him out? ……..it’s a matter of exaggerated claims of success.” THANK YOU (Ok apols for caps) Anthony for posting these SUMMARY FORECASTS (and no apols for these caps).
Items below are important statements in earlier stages of the debate . “..the fact that he doesn’t release out of date forecasts for evaluation says everything that you need to know.” But you do need to analyse in the context of the type material you are looking at in order to see whether there is anything useful with the SLAT approach. Anyway, my point is, why does one Midlander think the Met Office predicted rain and another think they didn’t? … And also take into account competing forecasts from standard meteorology. He predicted months ago the current weather for the UK. w. Can anyone tell me how Piers is doing so far with his U.S.A. forecast please,Is it way off?close?spot on? …and? (Created by Global Weather Oscillations Inc.), During the 1998 Global Warming Peak, the warm pulse occurred from 1990-93 and again 2004-07,and warmed the Arctic waters below the ice caps up to 1 Degree Celsius above normal. Naturally those that didn’t suffer the effects were pretty darn happy.
