UK Temperature Network Goes From Bad to Even Worse
Not only are such claims directly contradicted by the Met Office’s own CET series, not only is their UK dataset dominated by poorly sited, junk sites with up to 5C of uncertainties, not only is it corrupted by spurious UHIE warming, but it now emerges that they have carried on opening yet more Class 4 and 5 sites, while at the same time the number of Class 1 sites has fallen
Chris Morrison of the Daily Skeptic writes:
In March 2024 the Daily Sceptic shocked the science and political world by disclosing that nearly 80 percent of the UK Met Office’s temperature measuring sites were so poorly located that potential ‘uncertainties’ could corrupt the readings by a number of degrees of centigrade.
World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Classes 4 and 5 in its CIMO scale come with ‘uncertainties’ up to 2°C and 5°C respectively, and a Freedom of Information (FOI) request found that 77.9 percent of its sites were in these two ‘junk’ categories.
It should have been a wake-up call demanding immediate improvement of the nationwide network, not least because the Met Office frequently catastrophises its temperature figures in the interest of promoting the Net Zero fantasy.
Alas, no. A new FOI has found that the Classes 4 and 5 junk sites have increased significantly over the last 18 months and now total an appalling 80.6 percent of the entire network.
Pristine Class 1 sites – which measure a credible ambient air temperature with little chance of unnatural heat corruption – are just 4.9 percent of the total, having fallen in number in this short period from 24 to 19.
