Noah’s Ark Weather, Or A Normal British Summer? Will The Met Office Make Its Mind Up Please?
By Paul Homewood
Further to the latest Met Office scare story:
.
Forecasters are predicting a summer of persistent rain and wet weather for Brits, as global warming continues to result in more erratic conditions.
The Met Office has briefed the Government and transport chiefs to prepare for at least 50 days of rain in the next three months, leading to fears over further flooding in the UK and dashing any hopes of a warm British summer.
Last summer saw 40 days of rain, but the Met Office expects this summer to be even worse, jeopardising popular summer events such as Wimbledon, Trooping of the Colour, Royal Ascot and many festivals including Glastonbury.
It is worth consulting the latest Met Office long range forecast:

In short, it will probably be a bit drier than normal down south, and a bit wetter up north.
.
It must now be abundantly clear that the climate change wing of the Met Office is totally out of control, feeling able to put out whatever climate propaganda they can get away with.
Meanwhile their weather forecasting colleagues must be ashamed of their politicised antics.
The British public deserve better.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Well…..the jury’s out…
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
While Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practised in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died…
Out of their mind certainly.
Unfortunately the weather forecasting colleagues are just as much part of the climate change scam as the climate change wing.
I would beg to differ with you on that point. Weather presenters are not synonymous with weather forecasters. In recent research I have done I have been rather surprised to come across numerous genuine meteorologists who are particularly anti “climate scientists”. They have made comments suggesting that those promoting climate change are expressly NOT qualified in meteorology and are talking “weird politics” not science.
Most of this particular story is just sensationalising by the left wing LBC.
Oh dear. Last year I was hammered to death by some of my alarmist colleagues about the Forty Degrees for 48 hours last summer. The New Normal I was told. Now it looks rather cool. I am deeply disappointed.
Ah, that’s why we now have “erratic” weather. Clearly the MO doesn’t think we are going to have heatwaves, so we get this nonsense instead.
Two words – Hunga Tonga.
Yes. The Icelandic volcano keeps going of too. They had to evacuate a town two days ago.
To summarise, it could be colder or warmer, wetter or drier. Sounds suspiciously like a normal Brit summer.
The all-of-the-above-forecast is usually reliable.
Did they laugh? Probably bit their tongues. No one is taking any action on this pronouncement. Cirrusly, just what would a ‘transport chief’ do to prepare for 50 days rain? Sell his trucking stock?
Fears? WTF? Who are these people with ‘fears?’
And a warm British summer is out? Well that tears it . . . .
Talking heads. GIGO
Off topic. I’ve read the blog for years. This is my first post.
Two days ago Malwarebytes blocked my access to the site for “inappropriate content”. There was an option to “not block”, which of course I chose.
I wonder why this excellent blog is now deemed “inappropriate”?
I can’t find any sensible way to complain to Malwarebytes.
Yes, you’re the second to complain about Malwarebytes
Thank you for your attention Paul, I’m sure you’re ridculously busy.
the met office and climate change fanatics have the wonderful capacity for incorporating both
doublethink (Orwell 1984 – “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them”)
and doubletalk (Alice in wonderland – “language that appears to be earnest and meaningful but in fact is a mixture of sense and nonsense”)
into all their outpourings
Hedging their bets or what?
They are worried its not going to be very warm so instead they invent new claims about “days of rain” and weather becoming “erratic”.
And ‘Hottest Day of the Year’.
Yes, truly! January 1st, every year, without fail, since at least 55BC! And some later in the year, almost unbelievably!
But some people get taken in by that scam.

Engineering, engineering, engineering, So, 150 years ago, even with the poorer recording methods of the time, there was high rainfall. So they have reduced their news to what seems to be a cyclical event. We notice the effects more today because we are overpopulated and the utilities have not maintained progressive infrastructure problems, to keep ahead of demand; sewage treatment testifies to that. Better to ascribe the ills to an ethereal cause than a real world investment problem. It’s all well and good demanding new houses that the water companies must service by statute, but but it now comes to a time when demand outruns supply. Yes, there is a case for saying that the utilities are slothful, but you could also insinuate that the demands are unrealistic. A predictable amount of rain being unpredictable but not the means to drain and to preserve. When is our next drought?
Off thread, but the Beige Knight, Keir Starmer, has solved the Energy problem, completely and for all time. He has a LOGO for ‘Great British Energy’!
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/labour-logo-great-british-energy-32925798
And he has buzz words, too … my cup runneth over!
He will say “Our clean power mission with Great British Energy will take back control of our destiny and invest in cheap, clean homegrown energy that we control.”
And – more – he’ll have a website!
Sorted!
I suppose that it’ll be down to engineers and scientists to make this impossible dream work – he’s had the vision; let the little people sort the details.
And he aspires to be Prime Minister – albeit recent competition in blue hasn’t been startlingly good, shall we say.
I weep for my country.

C’mon, Auto, why are you against cheap, clean homegrown energy?
Expressive personality types* have lots of ideas . . . mostly bad. But their personality makes them electable. Thus the common full o’ s#|+ politician.
*Peter Urs Bender
Gamecock,
“cheap, clean homegrown energy?”
Nobody is against that – certainly not me; it would be wonderful.
However, I question whether there will be ‘cheap’ – or ‘clean’, if all inputs and outputs are considered fairly – “homegrown energy”.
If Breezes and [in the UK …] Sunbeams are the main source, and the expensive cables and pylons are built – they will still need an awful lot of battery back-up, which is not cheap, as we know. Tesla does it at $575/Kwh; we’ll need several Twh, so into the trillions [Sterling, Dollars, Euros … whichever, still money we don’t have].
And I think I caught mention of hydrogen – tho’ whether it was from Starmer, or Sunak, or Rabbit-in-Headlights-Coutinho, I can’t remember. [Or all 3, perhaps]. I assume the pollies think that an Act of Parliament will amend the laws of physics, and make hydrogen cost-effective. Yeah, right!
And it’s utterly unneeded. CO2 is not a threat; it’s a trace gas, with – to the nearest one-tenth of one percent, Zero in the atmosphere – and it is plant food. Unhinged loons like XR and Just End Human Civilisation could beneficially note that; their paymasters and puppeteers know, but wish to obscure, that!

Only slightly O/T but the Met Office daily extremes for yesterday (30th may) were quite amusing. As usual the UK high was set at a Class 4 site (that I would argue is Class 5) at Pershore aka former RAF Throckmorton.

However, the one that surprised me was the East of England highest temperature set at Bedford (aka former RAF Thurleigh) which is supposedly a reasonably good Class 2 site. ****BUT***** that was before it was turned into rather a large car park! The red kite marks the weather station.

Just across is ‘Cazoo Wholesale’; looks like they have several [thousand] cars for sale. Perhaps that’s why they have called the administrators in …

And then the Met Office fact-checked and debunked the very same stories that its press office drove to the media:

Seems ironic that it mentions “40 days” in the blurb……
