class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viewing the above Met Office graph, the majority of the general public will almost certainly assume a dramatic, rapid and alarmingly upward trend in \u201ctemperatures\u201d starting around the latter 1980s. Such evidence supports the current mantra of Anthropogenic Global Warming\/ Manmade climate Change. It is \u201cblatantly obvious\u201d to those using \u201cthe science\u201d to promote and impose on the rest of us their own personal political ideologies \u2013 \u201cjust look at the data!\u201d The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/index-page-surface-stations-project\/\">Surface Stations Project<\/a>\u2018s intended aim is to do exactly that and look at the data in a genuinely accurate, scientific and open manner. Aultbea is a classic example of just one of the many ways in which the Met Office data collection and representation system is vastly more important in producing the above misleading graphs than any actual significant temperature changes are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"427\" data-attachment-id=\"408067\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=408067\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?fit=1377%2C813&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1377,813\" 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\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?fit=723%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?resize=723%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Aerial view of a landscape featuring a winding road, scattered buildings, and areas of cleared land.\" class=\"wp-image-408067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?resize=1024%2C605&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?resize=768%2C453&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?resize=1200%2C708&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-282.png?w=1377&amp;ssl=1 1377w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">57.85899 -5.63294 Met Office\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eoas.ubc.ca\/courses\/atsc303\/Instruments\/wmo_guides\/CIMO_Guide_2014-Met_Site_Classification.pdf\">CIMO\u00a0<\/a>Assessed Class 4 Temperature records from 1\/9\/1990<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aultbea\">Aultbea&nbsp;<\/a>is a small coastal fishing village in the North-West Highlands of Scotland.

These features force Atlantic air to rise, deposit rain\/snow on their western slopes, and descend as warm, dry Foehn winds toward the coast. The station\u2019s low elevation and coastal position (in a \u201cdrainage stream\u201d area) allow it to detect the full warming and drying as air funnels toward the sea, often channeling winds along Loch Ewe\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the above only indicates two things so far. Firstly, Foehn Effects occur in this region and secondly that there are relatively modern sites there to record them. The implications though are the key issue. These relatively rare Foehns are \u201cextreme\u201d events and, as I explained in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/2025\/07\/23\/the-reification-of-averages-part-one-how-the-met-office-manipulates-measurements\/\">Reification of Averages<\/a>&nbsp;the Met Office retention of their crude averaging system is \u201cextremely\u201d responsive to extremes. Indeed It is quite apparent that these extremes are often sought out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, under Freedom of Information Request a list of the highest recorded temperatures for each day of the year of 2025 so far was recently obtained. Foehn effects are most noted in winter and early spring. Below is the data for January. {<em>note some rather odd Scottish county names.<\/em>}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"619\" data-attachment-id=\"408079\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=408079\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-289.png?fit=867%2C742&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"867,742\" 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\/2025\/10\/image-289.png?fit=723%2C619&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-289.png?resize=723%2C619&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A table displaying weather data, including site names, areas, observation dates, and maximum temperatures recorded in January 2025.\" class=\"wp-image-408079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-289.png?w=867&amp;ssl=1 867w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-289.png?resize=300%2C257&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-289.png?resize=768%2C657&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first extreme that stands out is the dominance of the unrepresentative&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/2025\/10\/01\/scilly-st-marys-airport-wmo03802-does-the-met-office-actually-do-climate-science-anymore\/\">Scilly Isles Airport&nbsp;<\/a>site \u2013 a geographic \u201cextreme\u201d that appears on 10 occasions.

To a \u201cClimate Activist\u201d this antiquated system is a golden opportunity to manipulate input data to produce a pre-determined end result.
