Met Office Revises Summer Forecast

Why do they do it? It's common knowledge amongst experts that it isn't possible to forecast the weather more than 4 days in advance. So, earlier in the year the Met Office issued a summer forecast that indicated we were in for quite a good summer! On a day when it has rained solidly for about 12 hours here in Birmingham, they have now said that August will be more unsettled than predicted and that whilst they stand by their original statement, it did only have a probability of 65%! I am a fan of the Met Office and, by and large, their forecasts are good. If only they'd stick to what they're good at!
