The Met Office exists to forecast the weather. But increasingly it seems bored by the day job so it likes to lecture us about climate change. And here it seems to have been embarrassingly duped by activists. Go on its climate...

At the end of spring the Met Office put out a press release, which claimed that “this spring shows some of the changes we’re seeing in our weather patterns, with more extreme conditions, including prolonged dry, sunny...

Which all begs the question – what impact has cleaner air had on the rise in UK temperatures since the 1960s?

Why is all this relevant and important? As we have shown many times at the Daily Sceptic, this super-heated data is fed into the mainstream to promote the political needs of Net Zero...

No doubt computer models are behind this crystal ball gazing but the actual evidence of recent trends suggests something more modest. Homewood notes that annual rainfall in England and Wales has been increasing since 1980...

Following a number of Freedom of Information requests to the Met Office and diligent field work visiting individuals stations, Sanders has discovered that 103 stations out of 302 sites supplying temperature averages do not...

Despite the plethora of silly names the Met Office has given every passing low-pressure system, and despite their persistent advertising of high wind speeds on top of mountains and clifftops as being representative, this...

In neither dataset is there any evident long term trend.
