Nearly one in three (29.2%) U.K. Met Office temperature measuring stations have an internationally-defined margin of error of up to 5°C. Another 48.7% of the total 380 stations could produce errors up to 2°C, meaning nearly eight out of ten stations (77.9%) are producing ‘junk’ or ‘near junk’ readings of surface air temperatures. Arguably, on no scientific basis should these figures be used for the Met Office’s constant promotion of the collectivist Net Zero project. Nevertheless, the state-funded operation frequently uses them to report and often catastrophise rises in temperature of as little as 0.01°C.
Under a freedom of information request, the Daily Sceptic has obtained a full list of the Met Office’s U.K. weather stations, along with an individual class rating defined by the World Meteorological Office. These CIMO ratings range from pristine class 1 and near pristine class 2, to an ‘anything goes’ or ‘junk’ class 5. The CIMO ratings penalise sites that are near any artificial heat sources such as buildings and concrete surfaces. According to the WMO, a class 5 site is one where nearby obstacles “create an inappropriate environment for a meteorological measurement that is intended to be representative of a wide area”. Even the Met Office refers to sites next to buildings and vegetation as “undesirable”. It seems class 5 sites can be placed anywhere, and they come with a WMO warning of “additional estimated uncertainties added by siting up to 5°C”; class 4 notes “uncertainties” up to 2°C, while class 3 states 1°C. Only 13.7%, or 52 of the Met Office’s temperature and humidity stations come with no such ‘uncertainty’ warnings attached.
The above graph shows the percentage totals of each class. Class 1 and 2, identified in green, account for just 6.3% and 7.4% of the total respectively. Class 3 identified as orange comes in at 8.4%. The graph shows the huge majorities enjoyed by the darkening shades of red showing classes 4 and 5. It is possible that the margins of error identified for classes 3, 4 and 5 could be a minus amount – if for instance the measuring device was sited in a frost hollow – but the vast majority are certain to be pushed upwards by heat corruptions.
Last year, the investigative journalist Paul Homewood sought FOI information from the Met Office about the Welsh weather station Porthmadog, which often appears in ‘hottest of the day’ listings. He was informed that the site was listed as class 4 and “this is an acceptable rating for a temperature sensor”. Hence, continued the Met Office, “we will continue to quote from this site”. In short, observes Homewood, the Met Office is happy to use a class 4 site for climatological purposes, “even though that class is next to junk status”. It is bad enough that the Met Office is using this site, but it is even worse that they know about the issues but still plan to carry on doing so, Homewood continued. “How many other weather stations are of such poor quality?” he asked.
Now we know.
Using these figures with a precision to one hundredth of a degree centigrade, the Met Office declared that 2023 was the second hottest in the U.K., coming in just 0.06°C lower than the all-time record. Cue, of course, all the Thermogeddon headlines in mainstream media. In 2022, the Met Office said that five sites in the U.K. on July 19th went past 40°C, with a record of 40.3°C at RAF Coningsby. Kew Gardens is termed a class 2 site, although it is very close to one of the largest tropical glasshouses in the world. St James’s Park and Northolt airport are class 5 sites, Heathrow is class 4, while RAF Coningsby is class 3. At the time, the Met Office declared that the records set a “milestone in U.K. climate history”. A national record was also set on July 18th at Hawarden Airport in Wales (class 4) and on July 19th at Charterhall in Scotland (class 4).
Always alive to a popular headline catastrophising the weather, the Met Office declared a warmest St. Valentine’s night English record this year of 11.5°C at class 4-rated St. Mary’s airport on the Isles of Scilly. Earlier in the year, the Met Office declared the highest January temperature in Scotland at 19.6°C at Kinlochewe, a class 4 site. Interestingly the previous, much promoted, U.K. record was set on July 31th 2019 at the Cambridge Botanic Gardens, a class 5 site. Even more interesting is that in the Homewood FOI disclosures, the Met Office stated that class 5 data “will be flagged and not quoted in national records”.
The Met Office is between a rock and a hard place with these surface temperature measurements. Many of its long-standing stations have been encroached by urbanisation and corruptions seem to have become endemic across the entire system. In the past, this didn’t matter as much since margin of error allowances could be accepted along with less accurate local and national weather forecasting. Measuring surface temperatures across countries and then the planet is always going to be difficult, but a more accurate reading would be obtained by only using data from WMO classes 1 and 2. However, national and global temperatures have become politicised by the global warming scare and the proposed Net Zero solution. Alarmists often state that climate ‘tipping’ points will be reached with very small increases in temperature measured in tenths of a degree.
Using data from just classes 1 and 2 would likely crash the claimed rises in national and global temperatures. Something similar would likely occur if the Met Office moved the majority of its stations to more suitable spots. A number of scientists have tried to measure the urban heat bias in temperature records with estimates suggesting a general problem of warming corruption around the 20-30% mark. Last October, two scientists working out of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), produced a paper noting: “The bottom line is that an estimated 22% of the U.S. warming trend, 1895 to 2023, is due to localised UHI [urban heat island] effects.”
Under our FOI request, it can now be seen that the problems with corrupted U.K. weather stations are similar to those discovered in the United States by meteorologist Anthony Watts. In work compiled over a decade, Watts found that 96% of temperature stations used by the U.S. weather service NOAA were “corrupted” by the localised effects of urbanisation. Sites in close proximity to asphalt, machinery and other heat-producing or heat-accentuating objects, “violates NOAA’s own published standards, and strongly undermines the legitimacy and magnitude of the official consensus on long-term climate warming trends in the United States”, he observed.
Both the U.K. and U.S. temperature datasets are important constituents of global totals compiled by a number of weather operations including the Met Office and NASA. The Met Office runs HadCRUT, where over the last 10 years two retrospective revisions have added about 30% extra warming to recent global temperatures. This had the effect of removing all traces of a pause around 2000-2014. Meanwhile, Professor Ole Humlum has noted that the GISS database run by NASA increased its surface air temperature between 1910 to 2000 from 0.47°C to 0.67°C, a boost of 49% over this period. “Frequent and large corrections in a database unavoidably signal a fundamental uncertainty about the correct values,” commented Humlum.
Pristine temperature data is available. In 2005, NOAA set up a 114 nationwide network of stations called the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). It was designed to remove all urban heat distortions, aiming for “superior accuracy and continuity in places that land use will not likely impact during the next five decades”.
The graph above shows nothing more than very minor, gentle warming since 2005, slight warming that might be expected in the small and continuing natural rebound from the depths of the pre-industrial Little Ice Age. A reliable source of global data is to be found in the UAH satellite record, which shows less overall warming since 1979 than the surface datasets. Both these datasets are rarely mentioned. In fact one of the compilers of the satellite data, along with the UAH paper on urban heat, is Dr. Roy Spencer. In 2022 he was kicked off Google AdSense for publishing “unreliable and harmful claims”. The move demonetised Dr. Spencer’s widely consulted monthly satellite temperature update page by removing all Google-supplied advertising. Google is on record as stating that it will ban all sites that are sceptical of “well established scientific consensus”.

Shall they be banned from society if they refuse? I mean the fact is they are getting jabbed again because they are no longer showing signs of being vaxxed. So…..
Let’s hope so. Let’s hope that when the penny drops, they realise they will NEVER be “fully” vaccinated if they don’t keep up with the stabs. This is what it will take to wake up some more…but not all!
Some great insights here;

Really great link. Thank you. I am reading through some of the other Julius posts.
I can’t wait to see the impact of boosters on vaccine passports. Sit back and enjoy the show
Not a problem for those who don’t have family and friends. Besides my partner, all my friends and family have been fully reprogrammed by the government terrorism and will be in the scrum to get their next dose of poison. I’m afraid I’ll not be joining you to enjoy the show.
I was referring to the impact on the vaccine passports rather than the impact on people receiving the boosters. I too am very concerned about the latter. But the vaccine passport system will not be able to cope with the boosters, who’s due to have them and who’s “out of date”. Many people will refuse. The proportion of “fully vaccinated” will dwindle with each successive booster. This will be the government’s downfall. Give it a couple of years, and I predict this house of cards will collapse.
I like your optimism. Let’s hope the collapse happens in a much shorter timeframe though!
Sadly, though, the vaccine poison will be integrated into society and bodies. Th longer term effects of the vaccine on health will be apparent but dismissed as not connected to the vaccines. By then they’ll have got to the younger children and maybe even babies.
>The proportion of “fully vaccinated” will dwindle with each successive booster.
THAT IS the plan. No travel for proles.
As Alanis Morissette said “Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?”
The loudest voices in support of vaccines, boosters, vaccine passports and lockdowns to keep them safe, seem to come from people who – even prior to March 2020 – rarely went to the pub, were past going to nightclubs (if they ever went at all) and didn’t go to crowded sports stadia.
Theirs may be the loudest voices in the media – but the real enthusiasm comes from the youth and younger element, who aren’t in the least danger but just see the jabs as their road to freedom. Many of them are also being paid for doing nothing, so don’t mind what is risibly called ”lockdown”.
My very elderly mum is already saying she won’t have a booster jab. I bet she’s not alone.
Mine won’t be having one either because the first two probably ended her life prematurely.
I’m sorry to hear that. My mum has deteriorated shockingly (and irreversibly) since her second injection. I wish she’d listened to me instead of her friends.
My husband is saying the same but then again, he said he wasn’t getting vaccinated yet did…
Hovering a claw over the ‘reset status’ button on all those passports must make Billy grin.
Do I need 3 now?
Or is it just the latest that’s required to activate the passports, if so, I guess I’ll hold out until I’m ready to escape the country, first and last go on the Russian roulette needle…. Or I could just get a dinghy.
Why are they bothering to wait for the JCVI? They’ll just do what they want anyway.
Watch for the spike in deaths when they ‘boost’ the elderly and frail which will give them the excuse for the ‘firebreak’ lockdown that they’re not planning.
Which will give them the excuse to inject the children which they’re not planning. Oh wait, they are.
I find that so depressing – even down to the 5 year olds has been mentioned. I look at my under-5 grandkids and wonder how they’ll fare as my daughter-in-law will be first in the queue with them if they get to that age group. And what’s to stop them????
https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-comments-from-jeremy-hunt-about-the-covid-19-booster-schedule-including-his-thoughts-that-we-should-just-get-on-not-wait-for-that-advice-in-reference-to-the-jcvi/
“The JCVI is a committee of experts set up to advise the government on immunisation and vaccination.1 In a way comparable to NICE, with other drugs and treatments, it makes recommendations on vaccination. Where they have been requested by ministers to answer a particular question (‘should we use this vaccine?’), the government is then legally obliged to follow their recommendations; but the committee also undertakes ‘horizon-scanning’ and can make other recommendations, which will not have the force of law.
“As discussed above, if the JCVI is tasked by ministers with answering a specific question, then the government is obliged to implement that decision; but other than in these circumstances, the JCVI’s role is advisory, and ministers can make decisions taking into consideration the views of JCVI, other government advisory committees, and financial and political considerations.”
But no-one appears to have actually asked the idiots the question WHY a booster is needed?
Is it because the jabs don’t work? Or is it to attempt to cover up expected side effects?
Anyone like to hazard a guess how many jabs will be required to be “fully vaccinated” by, say, the end of the year?
Well Israel are on their fourth and it’s working really well as they currently have the highest infection rate in the world.
I admit, I thought Israel’s still on three, with queues round the block for it and a ‘vax pass’ that’ll run out precisely six months after the third jab. Which, of course, in the longer term means jabs ongoing. I think Turkey is deffo on four, certainly for the healthcare sector.
It must by now be fairly obvious to anyone with even half a brain cell that these injections ain’t what was claimed, either in terms of what they could ‘prevent’ or in terms of the appalling side effects. I’ve just entertained myself on the BBC hys by pointing out that their third jab is really only to put off the expected explosion of ADE this autumn.
Does anyone know if there have been any post mortems done on triple and quadruple jabbed individuals yet? And is there a yellow card equivalent for Israel? Talk about human guinea pigs!
If you haven’t seen this already, I can recommend it. Del Bigtree talking about all sorts of up to date stuff including a good, easily digestible explanation of A.D.E
To your point, he talks to the Pathologist Dr Ryan Cole who states there has been ONE post Mortem in the USA!
As he rightly says, a new experimental drug is being administered in numbers never seen before, but nobody, not Governments, not scientists, nobody seems to wants to investigate how or why it is causing injuries and deaths in record breaking numbers!
https://rumble.com/vlve7n-are-we-starting-to-see-a.d.e..html
I’m sure it’s going to get worse, but some days you wonder how? Yep fourth, fifth, ad infinitum!
Israel’s national coronavirus czar on Saturday called for the country to begin making preparations to eventually administer fourth doses of the coronavirus vaccine.
“Given that that the virus is here and will continue to be here, we also need to prepare for a fourth injection,” Salman Zarka told Kan public radio. This is our life from now on, in waves,” he said.
Could Israel be going all out for the Marek Effect.
A leaky vaccine was used to fight a virus in high-density chicken barns. Vaccinated chickens were protected from severe outcomes but continued to catch and spread the virus. A variant emerged that spread among the vaccinated chickens without killing them but killed 80% of unvaccinated birds when they got infected.
Though maybe ADE will spoil the party.
Well, I’m no expert, obvs, but to test the Marek principle (essentially a vaccine that doesn’t stop you getting it or passing it on, but protects you from death while it leaks out and kills most people who haven’t been jabbed), you’d need to observe a large number of people in a cut-off place. So Israel’s probably out as they freely let their citizens out of the country. Australia on the other hand …
It’s not much fun being an unjabbed chicken at present, eh?
Although it seems their jabs will be about as much use at killing me as they are at ‘protecting’ those who’ve taken them. Which is to say they will be, and are, utter crap.
I’ve raised the same points with my pro-‘vax’ family.
If they really do understand the effects of this fake vaccine, why didn’t they know the efficacy would run out so fast?
Truth is, their is no efficacy because it’s not designed to protect you from Covid-19. The bastards have the population believing that the fake vaccine has kept hospitalisations low over the summer. People have seemingly forgot that respiratory illnesses all but vanish in warm seasons.
They started boosters in care homes in Germany. First news reports – yes the MSM is actually reporting it! – of near fatalities in a care home in NRW.
At least 2 residents had to be resuscitated a few days after.
Officials saying “we’re still investigating any possible connections”.
At least a local GP said he will not administer boosters until there is more knowledge.
The GP will get nobbled in some way detrimental to his life…
Can’t they just fuck off and leave us alone? Is that really too much to ask?
We’re going to have to make them, I’m afraid.
Being at war with your own government is a new thing for most people in the UK but we’re going to have to get used to the idea. Perhaps some of our older East European friends can advise us on how to survive under a totalitarian regime and eventually overthrow it.
Unfortunately it seems to be these days. And what is even more concerning is that if you say that in front of many normals (and I have, many times) they look at you as if you are asking for something completely unreasonable!
Every time – they start off by talking about these policies like the idea is merely being floated. We’re told they’re not likely to do it… but if they do… it’ll only be for the most vulnerable. Then suddenly, they’re not talking about eligibility, they’re demanding the entire population gets a needle stuck in their arm.
I don’t know how many more times we’re going to witness this blatant strategy without the general public noticing the pattern.
Even dumb animals learn trends and start to alter their behaviour if that trend is a potential threat. But the public are suffering collective psychosis and their sense of reality is shot to smithereens.
Good luck to everyone trying in agony to persuade their loved ones to avoid these injections. It feels like holding on to their hand as they hang off a cliff, but the government/media/medical world is squirting snake oil on our grip.
I have given up warning family and friends. They have been made fully aware of what is really happening; I have shared articles, studies and data since March 2020. Like Nostrapharmas, I have given them a glimpse into their future of digital-public health-social control tyranny and yet they still suck at the teat of Boris like a hungry, malnourished pup. Frankly, if my family and friends are still too dumb to see what is going on, then they probably deserve everything that is coming to them.
Nosrapharmas…love it. I too am like a person of two-halves…I am just so fed-up of explaining this shit to people…let’s face it we still have people thinking a Positive PCR test is a diagnosis of Covid for goodness sake….There isn’t one bit of this scamdemic that stands up to any rational thought or examination.
At the same time some of these numpty’s are my family and friends and I don’t want anything bad to happen to them.
In the the case of the third full vaccine dose, please stop calling it by the designated name of booster..more psy ops…tell it like it is, they are having a third full dose because one and two have failed! I do think lots of people are waking up a bit, I know a few who don’t want it and won’t put themselves forward for it.
Some while ago I read the government had ordered something like 540 million vaccine doses. What’s the number up to now?
In a comment following the previous article on here today, it stated that Government had signed a contract with the firm Entrust, worth £1.6 millions, for vaccine passports, valid until March 22, with the option of a further year. I looked up Entrust’s website – my blood ran cold. Everyone in Britain, if not on the planet, needs to see it – it is everything that we who have been labelled conspiracy theorists warned against. It must surely open people’s eyes to what is really going on. https://www.entrust.com/?edc_sfid=7015Y000002ePv6QAE&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4eaJBhDMARIsANhrQABUTs86NECMKQWts6j80pOxFXk1AlWM7tbh16OFcVYagEfuVgG-b1waAv_bEALw_wcB
I’m sure like most of us you realised you were wasting your time. As Mark Twain (allegedly) said “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled”
“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”
https://theconversation.com/why-did-thalidomides-makers-ignore-warnings-about-their-drug-47092
Why does this site (and the BBC) feel the need to show a huge close-up of a hypodermic syringe almost every the jab is mentioned? Needle phobics all over the world must be having a hard time with this.
(Totally missing the point of the issue, I know, but still; just like masked faces are here, there and everywhere on advertising – although this appears to be easing off now.)
Ridiculous and pointless. It’s no different to blindfolding someone, putting him in a darkened room, giving him a sheaf of darts and telling him to hit a bullseye on an imaginary dartboard.
Danger porn.
I’m trending this…(can one person whose not on any official media trend anything? LOL!)
#it’s not a booster it’s a full third dose of a vaccine because doses one and too failed!
I sincerely hope that people boycott the booster in vast numbers. I know double-jabbed individuals who are certainly having second thoughts about it.
I suppose the danger is then that the so-called Leaders will double down on the passport stuff. Sometimes I think we’re done for whatever happens.
How many times can you ‘boost’ the immune system? Real science tells me ONLY ONCE
Unless you want Immune Cell Exhaustion and the problems that causes…
This has all gone WAY beyond public health. No-one’s speaking of a deadly viral disease any more and the danger of bodies on the streets, etc. This is more and more obviously about money and power. I shouldn’t have thought there’d be many TerminallyTerrified out there, who are gagging for this ”booster” – though they’ll queue up for it, thinking it’ll mean ”Freedom”.
