Almost anything from the South Wales Evening Post would be eligible for inclusion here but more than three cars in a queue qualifies as news in Swansea..

Exacta weather who are quoted in that article have form for producing apocalyptic weather headlines for struggling newspaper editors (often the Daily Express). If this one is right expect that fact to be loudly trumpeted. It will probably be wrong and in 6 months time the Met office will be blamed for it.

That's just one critical article of the many you'll find by googling them.

In the meantime from my own analysis of many years weather patterns - in the next six months the average temp will be lower than the previous six monthly period. Some areas of the UK will experience frost, fog and or snow. Strong winds will blow occasionally and most areas can expect some rainfall.

Everything else was the same, though, right? ;)

And just to show the Echo does proper hard-hitting news as well:
