From the Daily Skeptic

Now the Met Office has relabeled the daily “heat” as “extreme”, certainly to increase people's fear of heat as part of the net zero education process. Last Wednesday, Teddington Bushy Park recorded an “extreme” temperature of 20.4°C. As the Google Earth photo below shows, adjacent high walls that reflect heat onto measuring equipment, as well as large residential developments that warm nearby areas, contribute to the spread of “extreme” temperatures. Teddington Bush Gardens is a Level 4 site with an internationally recognized “uncertainty” of 2°C. Joke category 4 station might be a more appropriate description. How anyone could think that the information obtained at this site was suitable for the scientific work that ultimately produced the global average temperature is a mystery.
According to the classification system developed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which takes into account natural and unnatural temperature changes, 77.9% of Met Office sites are rated Level 4 and Level 5, with uncertainties of 2°C and 5° respectively. C. The Met Office has done its best to explain why most of its network of 380 temperature stations across the UK have been poorly sited. Levels 3 (uncertainty of 1°C) and 4 are said to produce “valid high-quality data”, but judging by Teddington's photos, this may be controversial. The Met Office said the WMO would not rule out using data from Category 5 super-litter. representative of the field.” Nearly a third (29.2%) of the Met Office's sites are rated as super-junk 5, which apparently allows the Met Office to derive average temperature figures of one hundredth of a degree Celsius.
Earlier this year, a freedom of information request from the government daily skeptic This finally unravels long-held suspicions that the Met Office temperature measurement system is not suitable for providing accurate local site-specific or national and global mean scale temperature measurements. The Met Office has so far not issued a formal statement on growing concerns over its scientific work following the shocking revelations. Yet it has occasionally made comments that suggest it is escaping the impact of growing criticism. Last June it announced Chertsey's highest and most extreme temperature of the summer so far, another “record”, when it was revealed that Chertsey Pumping Station's measuring rig was surrounded by newly built solar panels. This “record” has been questioned.
This is the solar farm in question, and it appears to be surrounded by temperature measuring stations. To be fair to the Met Office, Google Maps locates the station a few yards away – the precise positioning of any location can sometimes be subject to small errors. But what is not in dispute is that the site is adjacent to a massive solar farm with more than 1,800 panels. Solar panels generate so much heat in nearby areas that scientists recommend a 3-4°C rise in temperatures. Citizen journalist Ray Saunders recently spoke to Chertsey Meteorological Service, where the state-funded weather service admitted it was “aware” of the presence of solar panels near its weather stations. The Met Office noted: “The temperature measurements meet standards for publication and scientific use.”
In the United States, meteorologist Anthony Watts has spent decades studying the temperature output of the local weather service NOAA. He recently presented evidence that NOAA's temperature data is “fatally flawed,” with 96 percent of the data at more than 4,000 measuring stations corrupted by improper placement. As in the UK, many photos of inappropriate locations were published. The data below from a location in Florida shows measurements taken near a group of air conditioning units, a particular horror show.
Watts was asked on a recent Tom Nelson Podcast about the record 60-second runway temperature of 40.3°C announced when a jet landed at RAF Coningsby on 19 July 2022, noting that such an event was caused by new electronic The measurement causes a reaction to temperature changes within a tenth of a second. Previous mercury thermometers took longer to move and could never detect temporary temperature changes caused by gusty winds or flying jets.
All of this data has been collected and adjusted, and the “bottom line” is that the data has been altered to increase the warming trend. Many attempts have been made to estimate the changes caused by large amounts of corruption. “Our rate of global warming is 50 percent lower than the media and activists would have you believe,” Watts said.
