A forecaster has warned that "chaos" and "unpredictability" is to hit Britain this winter with "big weather" events expected.
Senior Meteorologist and Social Commentator, Jim Dale told GB News that "things have changed" as UK weather forecasts are now more "unpredictable".
Dale said "chaos is coming" with the meteorologist suggesting there will be more "big floods" and "big winds".
He said: "I've got these three words in my book, Surviving Extreme Weather, that was published back in April.
"I mentioned three words. Big weather - as in the big floods, the big winds.
"But also chaos. Chaos is coming more and more into it. Unpredictability, you can ask any meteorologists now that things have changed.
"Things are definitely changed in terms of looking forward and trying to sort of estimate what is next. Even the models that we look at are struggling sometimes to engage in terms of what is even two or three days ahead."
Dale predicts there will be "cold periods" but not "deep set winters", like that of 1963 when Britain was hit with blizzards, snow drifts, blocks of ice, and temperatures lower than -20C.

He added: "That type of thing, I don't think we're anywhere near that. So I would expect it to be much milder for the most part.
"There maybe some northern snow at times. And we can't we can't move away from the fact that even the south can get the odd day of dislocation with snow - that can happen."
The forecaster said there is a possibility of "very, very low temperatures" should an arctic blast seen in September strike again.
A "cold Arctic air" swept across the UK earlier this month as temperatures dropped below 0C.

"Generally speaking, when you get an Arctic blast, so if we get what we got in September in, for example, January that will be definitely deep mid-winter.
"We'll be in it in terms of snow and very, very low temperatures. So anything is out there, let's go back to that word, chaos.
"We're just going to have to see now what these warm seas and the general sort of play of La Nina and other things will bring us. I suppose I could expect a smorgasbord of weather."
