Mr Corbyn is the master of the hindcast.

It is a clever method along the lines of:

1) Devise radical forecasting technique
2) Make vauge forecast
3) include at least one extreme event or "potential" extreme event (to make newsworthy)
4) be geographically vauge
5) analyse forecast after several weeks after the forecasted period
7) claim unprecedented accuracy or describe forecast cleverly to "fit" events
6) profit.

[Bored chemist]

His forcasts simply don't seem to be very accurate.

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-10-link-solar-winter-weather-revealed.html   just found this & i think PC's method involves some solar consideration which is unorthodox

[Mazurka]

What little I know of PC's forecasts are that they are based upon solar activity.  With a little bit more reputable science beheind it, it does appear that solar radiation (particualrly in the UV) can affect temperature distributions, thus effect the weather.

Still does not get around his distressing tendency to hindcast...
