Define "mega"?

Hail stones the size of blue whales mega? Or "scale it down a bit you're British, have a bit of wind and some rain" mega?

Also - source?

Also - This thread in it's current form is an excellent argument to bring back the ChatBox.

Hopefully the wind will dislodge whatever it is that is stuck under your shift key, Dg

Will it be so bad that I will be forced not to go to work?

Sho · 24 Oct 2013 at 12:04

Ok. I'll worry about it later.

a bit of wind in the south and it becomes national news..people in the western isles just roll their eyes, if they dont have to tether the livestock to stop them blowing away it isnt a proper storm

I bet it'll be like a breeze compared to Katrina or the one that just hit India.

Amber wind? is that not a shart?

randal · 24 Oct 2013 at 12:12

Oh good, another solid piece of DM journalism. I wish we could just block anything related to that awful site.

Stopped reading after this:

Met Office senior forecaster Helen Chivers said: 'There is potential for a big storm to hit at the end of the week...

Potential eh? There's the potential for Denise Richards to fly to England, kidnap me and force me to do lewd and depraved things to her for money too.

The predicted rain is floods of tears from Titan owners

How can they predict weather next week?

How can they predict it's going to be a very cold winter or really hot summer?

They can't, they make it up for lulz.
