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

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

Rather predictably this spring ended up the sunniest, and as a direct consequence, the warmest on record for the UK:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Spring 2025 has broken historical climate records, marking an unprecedented season of warmth and sunshine across the UK, according to provisional Met Office statistics.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/about-us\/news-and-media\/media-centre\/weather-and-climate-news\/2025\/double-record-breaker-spring-2025-is-warmest-and-sunniest-on-uk-record<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the Met Office bulletin is just waffle \u2013 nowhere do they show any understanding of why anti-cyclonic weather dominated, only that it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor of course did they have any idea this sort of weather was coming. Even at the end of January, they were saying that February to April would likely be wet and windy. In the event, that 3-month period was one of the driest on record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

But now apparently such dry, sunny weather is a sign of climate change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It would not have been a Met Office climate bulletin, if it had not mentioned the word \u201cextreme\u201d. But the idea that prolonged dry, sunny weather in spring is now more common is just more Met Office disinformation. Dry springs were much more frequent in the past:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Take 1893, for instance, the second driest spring on record behind 1852:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office would like you to believe that when we now get the same weather as 132 years ago, it is due to global warming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
