Google predicts Arctic chill for Scotland

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

The residents of Stornoway in Scotland might want to put an extra log or two on the fire. According to a rather alarming Google weather report, the Outer Hebrides resort is facing unseasonal temperatures of -17C over the next few days. 

The BBC, on the other hand, has the minimum temperature pegged at a far more reasonable 5-6C. What does Google know that the Met Office doesn’t? Or is this a direct result of having eco-doom monger Al Gore as a Google advisor?

We demand answers.
