Nearly All Daily UK High Temperatures Are Set At Junk Weather Stations
By Paul Homewood
Every day, the Met Office publish a list of daily extremes like the one above.
The Met Office have sent me a list of the daily high temperatures so far this year and I have analysed them for the summer months by WMO Classifications, which they supplied last year.
The results speak for themselves – overwhelmingly sourced from junk weather stations where temperatures may be inflated by as much as 2C or even more by poor siting.
Out of the five highs set at Class 1 sites, four are in the urban heat island bubble of Cambridge, so are equally meaningless from a climatological point of view.
