Mark Sudduth has a comment on his blog (hurricanetrack.com)

"In fact, interests in the United Kingdom should keep watch over the post-tropical version of Cristobal as it tracks across the Atlantic over the next several days"

It does seem uncertain where ex-Cristobal will end up, but it is forecast to become a very powerful extra-tropical storm, still with hurricane force winds, so best

hope it doesn't make a beeline for the Uk

Probably a lost cause though

I am writing to you in the capacity of an amateur weather enthusiast, in why do you persist on putting on your front page, sensationalistic weather headlines which prove to be wrong or were way OTT? Why do you persist on taking the word of these so called "forecasters", when often they have been wrong?
The headline prediction of hottest August in 300 years was the latest embarrassment, it turned out to be in fact the coolest for 21 years.
If the Met Office had made this prediction, I would be in no doubt that you would have a front page panning the Met Office for this, yet you persist on going to the same private forecasters who have got it wrong time and time again.
Do you realise on amateur weather forums on the internet such as UKWeatherworld, Netweather, TheWeatherOutlook, which I post on regular that you are consider a joke of a newspaper? Don't take my word for it go and have look yourself.

Although given the frequency with which the media come up with this nonsense about it being an Indian Summer, I propose calling any warm spell in September a "Fools Summer"
