UK tyre retailer forecasts another tough winter
ERJ staff report (DS)
Birmingham, UK -- UK tyre retailer, ATS Euromaster is urging motorists to pre-order cold weather tyres after a meteorologist predicted this winter will “break all records†in terms of snowfall and freezing temperatures.
Specialist long-range forecaster James Madden, of Exacta Weather, correctly predicted the harsh conditions experienced over the last two years and gave his forecast to ATS Euromaster as it prepares to fit cold weather tyres in the UK for the second year running.
He warns: “The UK is to brace itself for well below average temperatures and widespread heavy snowfall throughout winter 2011/2012 which will result in the fourth bad winter in succession, and will prove to be the worst of them all.
James Madden's forecast is based on major natural factors, including solar activity, and how they impact weather and climate on Earth. His forecasting techniques have attracted significant attention after correctly forecasting seasonal trends in the UK - and following the Met Office's decision to scrap its own seasonal forecasts in March 2010, after being criticised for failing to predict extreme weather.
