I mentioned the Met Office station at Neatishead the other day, which had set the highest temperature in the UK one day last week.
Ray Sanders has found out that it has only been operational since December 2022, and has been trying to find out its WMO classification. The Met Office has steadfastly refused, asking him why he wants to know.
Such an arrogant attitude from a publicly funded organisation is utterly unacceptable, and one can only wonder what they are trying to hide. Ray has now submitted an official FOI, which they cannot legitimately refuse.
We know that they have been stung by the Daily Sceptic’s exposure of their temperature station network, which is largely reliant on low quality sites, which the WMO says should not be used for climatological purposes.
Meanwhile Dave Ward has tracked the location given by the Met Office to the edge of a cold-war radar station, now the home of an RAF museum:

We cannot be sure of the exact location, as the Met Office only give it to three decimal places. It would be interesting to find out the exact location.
