The Met Office has revised its forecast for the rest of the summer, after its brand new supercomputer exploded whilst laughing at its predecessor's previous prediction of a "barbecue summer'".
The new supercomputer, which was the size of two football pitches and capable of 750 trillion calculations per second, was reduced to a smoking heap of electronic junk. The smouldering wreckage is being hosed down by Exeter firefighters.
Moments before its unfortunate mirth-fuelled demise, the supercomputer revised August's earlier forecast from "barbecue summer" to "great weather for ducks".
Chief technology officer, Steve Forecast told reporters that the old computer system - a Commodore 16 wired up to a piece of seaweed - had been reactivated as an emergency backup, and was predicting dry weather with temperatures in excess of 35 degrees for the next six months.
"And snow," he added confidently.
