From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a week old, but I thought it worth dealing with one particular claim by the Met Office, now I am back from Darkest Devon!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monday has been declared the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, reaching 34.8C (95F) in Cambridge, according to the Met Office.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c3rdwx4yx12o<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is only the eleventh year since 1961 that temperatures as high as 34.8C have been recorded, according to the Met Office\u2019s provisional figures.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six of those occasions have been in the last 10 years, the forecaster added.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many extreme weather events \u2013 including heatwaves \u2013 are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change, experts say.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s leave aside the fact that there is no mention of fewer cold waves; or the fact there is no evidence of \u201cmany other extreme weather events becoming more frequent. This is sadly the usual mendacious reporting we regularly see from the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about the claim that 34.8C has been recorded more regularly in recent years? As we know, we usually only find these high temperatures at dodgy sites \u2013 whether Junk Class 5 stations, next to the runway at Heathrow or in the middle of large conurbations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office stats might be more credible if they only used pristine Class 1 stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
