More from Chris Morrison:
Evidence continues to mount that the UK Met Office is chasing ‘hottest evah’ temperature extremes by deliberately siting new measuring stations in locations likely to be affected by heat spikes and unnaturally warmed ambient air. In the last 10 years to the middle of 2024, 81.5% of new sites were junk Class 4 and 5 operations with potential internationally-recognised errors up to 2°C and 5°C respectively. Incredibly, eight of the 13 newly-opened sites over the last five years were of junk status.
Now comes news of a new site recently opened in Wales at Whitesands that in the words of citizen super sleuth Ray Sanders, “appears to be a deliberate attempt to produce artificially elevated readings both now and ever increasingly in the future”.
Read the full story here.
What may have started simply because of incompetence now has the unmistakeable whiff of corruption. Why else would the Met Office still be deliberately and knowingly opening up junk weather stations? Eight out of the thirteen sites opened in the last five years, for instance.
If the Met Office wants to keep the few remaining shreds of credibility it still holds, it must immediately remove from its network all junk and near junk sites, which are totally unsuitable for climatological purposes. That must include Class 3 sites as well.
