class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK Met Office has over 100 non-existent weather stations where it estimates temperature data using information from \u201cwell-correlated neighbouring sites\u201d. However, it refuses to identify&nbsp;any of the sites used and bats away Freedom of Information (FOI) requests with the excuse that they are \u201cvexatious\u201d and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2025\/07\/14\/simple-foi-requests-for-data-said-to-back-non-existent-temperature-stations-refused-on-vexatious-grounds-by-uk-met-office\/\">not in the public interest<\/a>. But today the&nbsp;<em>Daily Sceptic<\/em>&nbsp;can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/2025\/08\/23\/lowestoft-addendum-the-non-existent-well-correlated-stations-and-why-the-met-office-will-not-answer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reveal recent work<\/a>&nbsp;that shows how in the case of the fictitious site at Lowestoft there are no open weather stations for miles around, well-correlated or otherwise. Unless the Met Office can finally reveal its workings out, the only realistic conclusion to draw is that the data are invented. It is the \u2018smoking gun\u2019 that demands a full public explanation from the Met Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Temperature data at Lowestoft have been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/pub\/data\/weather\/uk\/climate\/stationdata\/lowestoftdata.txt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">invented since 2010<\/a>&nbsp;when the station was closed. According to a Met Office public domain location temperature database, the nearest climate stations to Lowestoft are Hemsby (four miles away), Coltishall (25 miles), Scole (26 miles) and Morley St Botolph (30 miles). Given the distances from the coastal location of Lowestoft, these can hardly be considered well-correlated or neighbouring. The fact that every one of them is also closed might be considered another disqualifying feature, although, as we have seen with the Met Office, not necessarily so. What make Lowestoft particularly interesting is that it features as&nbsp;one of only 36 stations on the Met Office\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/research\/climate\/maps-and-data\/historic-station-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Historic Station<\/a>&nbsp;database.

The Met Office is a UK government department and, like many state-run operations around the world, it is at the forefront of climate alarm and the political promotion of the fashionable Net Zero fantasy. Recently, the science writer Matt Ridley charged in the\u00a0<em>Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0that the Met Office had been\u201d embarrassingly duped by activists\u201d. As its political role has grown, so it has been subjected to increasing scientific scrutiny. This led it to recently complain that the efforts of a small number of people to undermine the integrity of Met Office observations \u201cis an attempt to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/weather.metoffice.gov.uk\/learn-about\/how-forecasts-are-made\/observations\/in-depth-classifying-land-based-observations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">undermine decades of robust science<\/a>\u00a0around the world\u2019s changing climate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pomposity and arrogance are rarely absent when the Met Office seeks to deflect criticism. It seems unaware that science is only \u201crobust\u201d when it emerges intact after relentless and forensic examination. While the traditional scientific method is often effectively banned in the \u2018settled\u2019 world of climate science, its processes still apply if data are to be accepted as robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the small number of people to have the temerity to question the Met Office is citizen sleuth Ray Sanders, whose work we have highlighted on a number of occasions. His&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/2025\/08\/23\/lowestoft-addendum-the-non-existent-well-correlated-stations-and-why-the-met-office-will-not-answer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest effort<\/a>&nbsp;has produced the \u2018smoking gun\u2019 that is the Lowestoft case. His FOIs have squeezed the excuse from the Met Office that it cannot name the up to six well-correlated sites behind closed-site climate averages, because \u201cit is not retained information\u201d. Sanders is incredulous: \u201cWhat not ever, not even for one day? Hands up anyone who believes that!\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanders defines correlation as a mutual relationship or connection between two or more things. As he points out, any site the Met claims is providing data that are \u201cwell-correlated\u201d with data that Lowestoft would be providing, were it still open, would need to have been operating alongside Lowestoft up until 2010 when it closed for the correlation to have been established \u2013 and of course be providing current data. Since the Met Office will not play ball, he investigated other temperature sites that might fit the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are no stations to the east of Lowestoft, for the simply reason it is the most easterly point of the UK. Neither are there any in the UK directly north and south, notes Sanders. The nearest open site to Lowestoft is Lingwood Strumpshaw Hill, a Class 5 with possible errors up to 5\u00b0C. Comparing this woodland site 14 miles from the coastal location at Lowestoft with only 18 months\u2019 temperature overlap is not realistic. Next up is Neatishead with no overlap and 20 miles distance. Tibenham Airfield is 24 miles away but only opened in 2015. Charsfield is a possibility with temperature overlap, but it is 29 miles inland on a fruit farm, hardly a place replicating coastal weather characteristics. In the end, Sanders found just two realistic distant sites \u2013 Class 4 Cromer at 35 miles and Class 2 Weybourne, 41 miles away.&nbsp;All of them of course push the Met Office\u2019s own \u2018neighbouring\u2019 claim to the limit \u2013 if not well beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a very large push, there are just two distant weather stations from which data might be considered to provide some rough guide to temperature in the&nbsp;Lowestoft area. As Sanders concludes: \u201cThis seems incredibly unlikely to produce even a vaguely close relationship, let alone one the Met Office quotes to the second decimal degree in its climate averages pages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ray Sanders has produced solid evidence that suggests the Met Office is inventing temperature data that it is using for political Net Zero purposes. Claiming his thorough, well documented investigations are \u201cvexatious\u201d will no longer wash. It must reply with realistic explanations and evidence of its own to retain public trust in its work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the charges that Sanders makes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Met Office cannot substantiate any reasonable \u201ccorrelation\u201d of those operational sites that are actually used because there are almost certainly none. Any station\u2019s data that are being used are not comparable and will artificially distort readings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Met Office is actually using data that have already been fabricated to create averages for those closed sites which it then expands on. Averages of averages of averages almost\u00a0<em>ad infinitum<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chris Morrison is the<\/em>&nbsp;Daily Sceptic<em>\u2019s Environment Editor.
