The UK’s Met Office’s idea of an ‘extreme’ temperature is 20.4°C 

Summarised by Centrist

According to The Daily Sceptic’s Chris Morrison, the Met Office has been rebranding their daily high temperatures as “extreme” to fuel the public’s fear of heat, part of the push for Net Zero. 

Furthermore, this ‘extreme’ temperature was recorded at a station located in a highly urbanised area, surrounded by heat-reflecting walls and nearby housing developments. 

As Morrison points out, it’s a ‘junk-class’ station, far from ideal for collecting reliable climate data due to the influence of surrounding structures that skew temperature readings.

Morrison points out that 77.9% of the Met Office’s stations are classed as unreliable due to their poor locations. He adds, “nearly one in three (29.2%) of the Met Office’s sites are rated super-junk 5,” meaning obstacles near these stations distort temperature readings. 

Yet, the Met Office continues to use this data to measure temperature with alleged precision, down to one hundredth of a degree. The Daily Sceptic uncovered, through a freedom of information request, that this flawed temperature system is unfit for both local and global scale measurements.

The situation becomes even more concerning when Morrison discusses the Chertsey water pumping station, another Met Office site, located next to a newly-built solar farm. 

The solar panels generate significant heat, raising the question of whether these records truly reflect reality.

Over in the US, meteorologist Anthony Watts has been investigating NOAA’s flawed temperature stations, with 96% of over 4,000 stations showing similar issues. “We have about 50% less global warming than the media and activists would have you believe,” he states.
