The Met Office would love people to think that there is such a thing as a \u201cnormal\u201d British climate; any variation from this norm now can then be labelled as an example of a \u201cchanging climate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are averages of course, average temperatures, rainfall and so on. But averages and norms are two different things, the former being merely an arithmetic construct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
