Further dramatic scientific evidence has emerged to show that the UK Met Office\u2019s 387-strong temperature network is hopelessly corrupted by unnatural heat influences and is effectively useless in providing credible guidance on many individual measurements and average trends. Since the Met Office has so few stations in pristine, uncorrupted CIMO Class 1 and 2 locations, where no errors are likely, nationwide ambient air temperature averages are impossible to gather, but Dr Eric Huxter has done the next best thing. He has examined over half a million 60-second measurements over the year at the Class 1 site at Rothamsted and produced a benchmark database<\/a> against which the obviously unnatural \u2018heat spikes\u2019 that litter junk Class 4 and 5 sites can be compared. His results are truly shocking. One set of junk sites declaring daily spiked maximums since late April are on average well over 2\u00b0C higher than that expected at Rothamsted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main takeaway from this new crucial scientific evidence is that many daily maximum temperature spikes at Met Office stations are not genuine weather events but artefacts arising from careless, bad or even intentionally poor siting. At Rothamsted, changes from minute to minute follow a predictable natural pattern, with the vast majority of the 525,541 readings varying from -0.15\u00b0C to 0.25\u00b0C. Individual changes from the previous hour show an expected wider spread and, depending on the season, vary over the majority of the readings from around -0.35\u00b0C to 0.45\u00b0C. To give an idea of how dreadful some of Met Office data is, consider its declaration that the hottest ever UK May 1st temperature of 29.3\u00b0C was recorded this year in the urban heat jungle of Kew Gardens. The measurement occurred at 2.59pm and was no less than 2.6\u00b0C higher than at 2pm and 0.76\u00b0C above the 3pm mark \u2013 whatever was being recorded on that day, it is highly unlikely that it was the ambient natural air temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Class 1 pristine sites like Rothamsted, set in open farmland, we are indebted to Dr Huxter for revealing how natural temperatures behave. First, he shows in the graph below how they change from minute to minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The second illustration shows the change from the previous hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

These two graphs show the variation of natural air temperature when it is measured properly under credible scientific conditions. The\u00a0following table<\/a>\u00a0from earlier Huxter\u2019s work shows how large the distortions can be when Met Office daily maximums, or \u2018extremes\u2019 as they are categorised, are drawn from badly sited stations. Listed below are 35 daily highs starting on April 26th this year and the difference from the recording at the hour. All but one of the recordings arise from CIMO Classes 3, 4 and 5, with internationally recognised \u2018uncertainties\u2019 up to 1\u00b0C, 2\u00b0C and 5\u00b0C respectively. The overall average \u2018spike\u2019 is 0.89\u00b0C, which is far higher than the overall average at Rothamsted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It gets worse. Dr Huxter kept his daily maximum recordings going throughout the summer and, from 126 days of data, was able to draw further mathematical conclusions. He found that spikes at 67% of these daily recordings had only a 1 in 6 chance of occurring at a Class 1 site. The 126 recordings occurred at 45 different locations, of which only 13.3% theoretically had no additional error due to Class 1 and 2 siting. The average across the remainder was an astonishing 2.8\u00b0C, which Huxter notes \u201cis not acknowledged by the Met Office\u2019s public face\u201d. Why should it, it might be asked. The Met Office is full of Net Zero activists, and they have weaponised temperature observations to scare the public witless and promote the fantasy that the world can get along fine without using hydrocarbons. Daily average temperatures are calculated using only the maximum and minimum recordings, and these provide a plentiful supply of \u2018hottest evahs\u2019 across days, months, seasons and years. After that, the figures are combined with similarly corrupted data from around the world to produce an inflated global warming figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even worse still, Huxter notes that a contribution to the heat spikes is the use of new, highly accurate, electronic Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRTs) in unaspirated Stevenson Screens. Two thirds of the 126 recordings were produced at stations with wind data, and it was found that these received only 28.3% of the minimum expected for such a device in the Stevenson housing. \u201cGiven the sunny dry summer, these PRTs are baking, producing data that does not represent a \u2018true\u2019 meteorological signal,\u201d he suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office does not seem to agree, or even care. It declared this year\u2019s summer in the UK was the \u2018hottest evah\u2019, pushing the glorious 1976 experience, measured by the old mercury-in-bulb instrument, down to a lowly sixth place. Meanwhile, a recent Freedom of Information request revealed that over the last 18 months it has increased the percentage of 4\/5 junk sites in its nationwide network from 77.9% to a frankly ludicrous 80.1%.<\/a> Seemingly not content with that, it has added 11 new classified stations that have been deliberately placed in the 4\/5 junk dump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huxter concludes that the Met Office is providing a \u201cmisleading picture\u201d of UK maximum temperatures. Over the years, he argues, it has become the standard bearer for \u2018weather fear\u2019 based on its anthropogenic climate change belief system. \u2018Feed the fear\u2019 has become a common thread in its public communication. He also notes the \u201cclose links\u201d with the BBC and like-minded media outlets, \u201cto whom any apparent \u2018record\u2019 is immediately communicated with the simple subtext of \u2018climate change\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office complained recently that a small number of people are undermining the integrity of its observations, \u201cin an attempt to undermine decades of robust science<\/a> around the world\u201d. In fact, what has happened is that a UK Government science department, overrun by political activists, has weaponised the results of a temperature network and is using it in a way that was never intended. The existing higgledy-piggledy system cannot provide data with the precision required for the Net Zero political agenda. Activists often warn that every tenth of a degree centigrade counts, and meteorologists claiming to measure temperatures to within one hundredth of a degree give them crucial ammunition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although mainstream media has ignored the scandal around the network\u2019s improper use, the Daily Sceptic <\/em>is aware of growing concern in both houses of the UK Parliament. The biggest fear, and one shared by many within the Met Office, is that political controversy around its junk temperatures will detract from its many useful roles in measuring local conditions from walled gardens to airport runways, and providing vital forecasts and warnings of forthcoming bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
