London, 18 November: The Global Warming Policy Foundation has just published its annual review of UK weather. Once again, author Paul Homewood finds little to be alarmed about.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using official data from the Met Office and other sources, this paper examines UK climate trends and assesses the truth of claims that UK weather is becoming \u2018more extreme\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Findings include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         The frequency of days with extreme tem\u00adperatures has been in decline since the 1970s, as more hot days have been offset by fewer cold ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         While winters have become slightly wet\u00adter, there has been little change in rainfall trends for the other seasons. In particular, summers are not getting drier, as projections have suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Wind storms have been declining in fre\u00adquency and intensity since the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of author, Paul Homewood:
\u201cDespite widespread claims to the contrary, our weather in the UK is not becoming more extreme. In fact, although slightly warmer on average, it has changed very little over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GWPF director, Dr Benny Peiser said:
\u201cIn light of frequent exaggeration and alarmism, it is vital that the public get a level-headed analysis of the UK climate. Too often public perceptions are a long way from what the underlying data shows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
