Helpfully, the Met Office went so far as to supply coordinates, elevations and purposes of the imaginary sites. Following massive interest across social media and frequent reposting of the&nbsp;<em>Daily Sceptic<\/em>&nbsp;article, the Met Office has amended its ludicrous claims. The move has not been announced in public, needless to say, since drawing attention to this would open a pandora\u2019s box and run the risk of subjecting all the Met Office temperature claims to wider scrutiny. Instead, the Met Office has discreetly renamed its \u201cU.K. climate averages\u201d page as \u201cLocation-specific long-term averages\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Significant modifications have been made to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/research\/climate\/maps-and-data\/location-specific-long-term-averages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new page<\/a>, designed no doubt to quash suspicions that the Met Office has been making the figures up as it went along. The original suggestion that selecting a climate station can provide a 30-year average from 1991-2020 has been replaced with the explanation that the page \u201cis designed to display locations that provide even geographical coverage of the U.K., but it is not reflective of every weather station that has existed or the current Met Office observation network\u201d. Under the new page the locations are still referred to as \u201cclimate stations\u201d but the details of where they are, exactly, have been omitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cynical might note that the Met Office has solved its problem of inventing data from non-existing stations by suggesting that they now arise from \u201clocations\u201d which may or may not bear any relation to stations that once existed or indeed exist today. If this is a reasonable interpretation of the matter, it might suggest that the affair is far from closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, we are obliged to the diligent citizen journalist Ray Sanders for drawing our attention to the unannounced\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/2024\/12\/07\/braemar-no-2-dcnn-1216-he-who-controls-the-past-controls-the-future-he-who-controls-the-present-controls-the-past\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Met Office changes<\/a>\u00a0and providing a link to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240807063354\/https:\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/research\/climate\/maps-and-data\/uk-climate-averages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">previous averages page<\/a>\u00a0on the Wayback Machine.

The claimed co-ordinates for Dover placed the station in the water on the local beach as shown by the Google Earth photo below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"418\" data-attachment-id=\"353760\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=353760\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-81.png?fit=1024%2C592&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,592\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-81.png?fit=723%2C418&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-81.png?resize=723%2C418&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-353760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-81.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-81.png?resize=300%2C173&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-81.png?resize=768%2C444&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, Sanders discovered from a freedom of information request that 103 of the 302 sites marked on the climate averages listing \u2013 over a third of the total \u2013 no longer existed. Subsequently, Sanders sought further information about the methodology used to supply data for both Folkestone and Dover. In reply, the Met Office said it was unable to supply details of the observing sites requested \u201cas this is not recorded information\u201d. It did however disclose that for non-existent stations \u201cwe use regression analysis to create a model of the relationship between each station and others in the network\u201d. This generates an estimate for each month when the station is not operating. Each \u201cestimate\u201d is said to be based on data from six other stations, chosen because they are \u201cwell correlated\u201d with the target station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of Dover, the nearest \u2018station\u2019 is seven miles away at non-existent Folkestone followed by Manston which is 15 miles distant. By \u201cwell correlated\u201d perhaps the Met Office means they are in the same county of Kent. No matter, computer models are on hand to guide the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ray Sanders had sent details of his findings to the new Labour science minister Peter Kyle MP and the recent Met Office changes may have been promoted by a discreet political push. At the time, Sanders asked: \u201cHow would any reasonable observer know that the data was not real and was simply \u2018made up\u2019 by a government agency?\u201d He called for an open declaration of likely inaccuracies of existing published data \u201cto avoid other institutions and researchers using unreliable data and reaching erroneous conclusions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Met Office also runs an historical data section where a number of sites with long records of temperature are identified. Lowestoft closed in 2010 and since then the figures have been estimated. The stations at Nairn Druim, Paisley and Newton Rigg have also closed but are still reporting estimated monthly data. \u201cWhy would any scientific organisation feel the need to publish what can only be described as fiction?\u201d asks Sanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original Braemar station in Aberdeenshire has recorded temperature data since Victorian times. Due to its interesting topography surrounded by high mountains, it recorded the U.K.\u2019s coldest temperature of -27.2\u00b0C in both 1895 and 1982. In summer, the temperature can soar as the heat stays trapped. A new site, some distance from the original, was set up in 2005 and in common with Met Office procedure was labelled Braemar 2 to reflect both distance and climatological differences. In the historical data section of the Met\u2019s website, Braemar 2 is shown supplying data back to 1959. \u201cFor reasons I find difficult to understand, the Met Office has chosen to highlight a spurious merging of two notably different data sets for an illogically defined period that fails to represent either site,\u201d observes Sanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent changes made by the Met Office to its climate average pages shows that the state-funded operation is fully aware of the growing interest in its entire temperature recording business. This interest has grown because the Met Office is fully committed to using its data to promote the Net Zero political fantasy. But it is silent on the biggest concern that has been raised of late, namely the promotion of temperatures, accurate to one hundredth of a degree centigrade, obtained from a nationwide network where nearly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2024\/03\/01\/exclusive-a-third-of-u-k-met-office-temperature-stations-may-be-wrong-by-up-to-5c-foi-reveals\/\">eight out of 10 stations<\/a>\u00a0are so poorly sited, they have internationally-recognised \u2018uncertainties\u2019 as high as 5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chris Morrison is the&nbsp;<\/em>Daily Sceptic<em>\u2019s Environment Editor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, the\u00a0Daily Sceptic\u00a0highlighted the practice at the U.K. Met Office of inventing temperature averages from over 100 non-existent measuring stations.
