Sir, – I am a bit dismayed by the latest weather soundbite “weatherbomb”. I really hope that every winter storm doesn’t become one such bomb – much like every time the temperature creeps above 23 Celsius we have a “phew, what a scorcher” or conversely when the temperature drops a bit we get a “beast from the east”. – Yours, etc,
