So says the MetO. On the plus side that would suggest a mild winter. On the downside, the models can't even handle weather patterns a week out let alone two seasons, so what a load of old guff.

I remember they said the same thing when we had that run of colder winters a few years ago.

But if the rainfall descends to ground level in a frozen, crystalline state, we'd all be happy.
I'm sure we'd all love more mild winters.
Troll!
Especially mild in St Helens.
Wouldn't be the first time
I don't think this specifically refers to next winter - rather the risk of unprecedented rainfall in winters in general is increased. That's my reading of it anyway.
Yes, same here John.

Agreed
I think it's very much linked with the increase in 'extremes' in our climate. The severe stuff tends to be more severe etc etc.
Oh, I certainly hope not. Excessive winter rainfall benefits nobody at all in the slightest.
It's good for southern aquifers and preventing summer droughts and water shortages surely?

So why is the weather always so boring and insipid these days? ;)
It does not necessarily mean that all the precipitation will be of the liquid variety.
There's also an increase in extreme boring and insipid weather.
