What we found (1)

The Daily Express reports a cold snap, UKHSA cold health alerts and possible snow in Scotland on Sunday, and passes on an energy firm's advice to keep shelf-stable food in. The headline promises six items, but the list in the body names seven, a small slip in a piece that otherwise reports the forecast accurately. Nothing in it misleads about the climate.

  1. Headline count does not match its own list

    Minor

    “stockpile 6 items”

    Why this matters
    The headline and opening line promise readers six items to stockpile.
    The impression it gives
    A reader expects a list of six items.
    The context
    The list in the body has seven entries: bottled water, bread, milk, tinned goods, snack foods, cereal and granola, and dried pasta and jars of sauce. The Express miscounts its own list.

What it gets right

  • “this colder spell is not being caused by the polar vortex”

    The Express quotes the Met Office's own correction that this week's cold has nothing to do with the polar vortex, so readers are not told the Sunday snow comes from it.

  • “The first cold health alerts of the winter have also been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), for the West Midlands and the north west of England.”

    It names the agency and the regions under the alert, which matches the Daily Star's report of the same yellow cold health alerts.

  • “the forecaster says this is not yet related to the polar vortex phenomeon”

    It attributes the link, or lack of one, to the Met Office rather than tying the snow to the polar vortex in its own voice.
