Chilly ‘Junuary’ in fact had more sunshine than average for the time of year, the Met Office has claimed. The Telegraph has more.
June was marked by its relatively cool start, with temperatures 2°C below average for the time of year during its first two weeks. But sunshine hours were up 12% in England and 4% for the U.K. compared with the average June.
Despite the cooler start to the month, heatwave temperatures in the last two weeks pushed overall June temperatures up to only 0.4°C below the long-term average.
Temperatures in the first two weeks of June were below average because of cold Arctic air being blown across the U.K. by northerly winds, a Met Office spokesperson said.
Could there be anything unreliable about the latest surprising claims? The Telegraph suggests there might be:
The Met Office measures sunshine using either the Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder, invented in the 19th century, or modern sunshine sensors.
The Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder, which is being phased out, uses a glass sphere to focus the sun’s direct radiation on a graduated card. The Met Office says the method can significantly overestimate sunshine duration on cloudy days. Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorders are still in use at many of the 140 manual climate stations [out of around 400 total stations] it operates.
It comes after controversy last month when the Met Office claimed damp and chilly May was the “warmest on record”.
Who are you going to believe, the Met Office or your own lying eyes?

I have huge amounts of respect for Eugyppius’ commentary always, but I find this very frustrating; its’s almost like theology, arguing over the details and interpretations but with a core tenet that I find completely implausible. Namely, that this was all a reaction to something new and novel.
To me it just seems abundantly clear that global lockdown was planned and inevitable, in effect the people of the world were being held hostage and conditioned to accept the ‘vaccine’ as a means of escape from the hardship imposed on them.
Evidence for this is overwhelming but it’s not seen as an acceptable position in polite society. Why?
Exactly.. a word salad.. explaining what exactly ???
All Eugyppius has to do is to check out the 2010 Rockefeller Foundations ‘Lockstep’ document and he’ll know for sure it was a coup. They were all in on it.. governments, intelligence agencies, WHO, UN, WEF.. Billy Gates and the boys + a whole lot more..

Completely agree George.
Eugyyppius is too fond of his own theorising and decidedly overthinks issues. Trying to find excuses for a blatant, planned takeover in August 2023 is now plain, bloody silly.
Paula Jardine proves her case with hard facts much as Dr Sasha Latypova and Dr Mike Yeadon do.
Eugyippius is now too often becoming a page filler.
I couldn’t have put it better myself..
Thanks George
Totally agree. I’m bored rigid with this now. Similar to pointing out the harms of the death jabs really, I mean, how much more evidence does one need and how much longer must the same points be regurgitated and ruminated on?? How many more studies need to be performed, just to be ignored and nothing changing as a result, only more toxic sh*t shots hitting the market and the zombie sheep keep on lining up like fentanyl junkies needing their next fix. Most deaths and harms were as a direct or indirect result of government and the medical establishment. Politicians and doctors killed more people than a seasonal virus ever could.
Because I refuse to harp on, broken record-style, I’ll just copy Dr Jonathan Engler’s comment instead;
”Creating the pandemic” involved propagating a false narrative.
Nothing to do with that virus per se.
It can be repeated at any time if the perpetrators’ choosing if we continue to believe the ludicrous story that a virus directly caused all but a tiny part of the harms seen.
It need not be a coronavirus next time.
They could select a rhinovirus to have star billing in the next chapter of the “greatest show on earth” – the dismantling of the free world.
The thing that needs shutting down – like the Broad Street water pump in the John Snow cholera story – is the medical-industrial complex spewing out the pandemic fantasy narrative.”

You are on form this morning Mogs
My money is on an enterovirus as per Gill Gates’ Catastrophic Contagion exercise.
I’m with ‘2nd smartest guy’ here in that anything coming out of the wholly corrupt MSM is pure PsyOp/distraction, designed to gauge the public reaction. A primer or test, if you will, just before autumn and the next ‘flu season hits. We are simultaneously not allowed to ever forget Covid and put it behind us so that we can get on with our lives, and are being psychologically conditioned to live on tenterhooks, forever wondering, ”will this be another pandemic?”, because the overt hints and confident statements from so-called ”experts” are coming at us left, right and centre that, yes, there most certainly will be another one. I couldn’t give a stuff if these alleged viruses with names are real, fictitious or made via GoF because I know they can’t harm me.
The criminals and presstitute mouthpieces are setting the scene, thinking they’re smarter than us but I’m sure, like me, anyone on here couldn’t smell stronger BS if they stood on a midden on a ‘global boiling’ kind of day. They’ll never see the likes of the compliance levels of 2020/2021 ( or subsequent uptake of any death jabs ) again because enough people are wise to their tactics by now and realise the only thing to fear is the damn governments. Realising you’ve been taken for a fool and lied to in such an epic and damaging way tends to leave a bad taste in most people’s mouths and they won’t forget when TPTB try to pull the same stunt again. But I reckon we can expect more of these scariant stories, however what the arrogant idiots seem to fail to realise is that it just serves to desensitize people, the opposite effect of what they’re after.
”The followup “pandemic” trial balloon intended to gauge the level of future societal “mandate” compliance has now been officially deployed.
Since viruses never mutate into more virulent strains, we must ask: is this another gain of function (GoF) release by the usual Intelligence Industrial Complex criminals, and their useful idiot “expert” apparatchiks ahead of the fall and winter flu season, or is this a consequence of the “vaccinated” genetically modified humans incubating and transmitting new viral mutations as a function of the Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon injections?”

Speaking of which….PsyOptastic! I envisage a future where scamdemics will be more common than four-leaf clovers;
”UK scientists have begun developing vaccines as an insurance against a new pandemic caused by an unknown “Disease X”.
The work is being carried out at the government’s high-security Porton Down laboratory complex in Wiltshire by a team of more than 200 scientists.
They have drawn up a threat list of animal viruses that are capable of infecting humans and could in future spread rapidly around the world.
Which of them will break through and trigger the next pandemic is unknown, which is why it’s referred to only as “Disease X”.
Professor Dame Jenny Harries, the head of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), told Sky News: “What we’re trying to do here is ensure that we prepare so that if we have a new Disease X, a new pathogen, we have done as much of that work in advance as possible.
“Hopefully we can prevent it [a pandemic]. But if we can’t and we have to respond, then we have already started developing vaccines and therapeutics to crack it.”

She’s bonkers.
OK, so where did the lunacy come from then?
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-the-us-weaponised-the-war-on-covid/
Paula Jardine’s investigations show that the maim and kill injections were deliberate.
Good article that Hux.. I do like a Conservative Woman..
and we all owe Sasha Latypova a great deal. A very brave, principled woman indeed..
Thanks George
When will they ever learn?
‘Faster vaccines
The work here feeds into the “100 Days Mission” – a hugely ambitious vision to develop a vaccine against a new threat in 100 days.’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66396585
This is pure propaganda from the BBC:
“Estimates suggest Covid vaccines saved more than 14 million lives in just the first 12 months they were used.”
No mention of alternative points of view, no mention of conflicts of interest:
“FundingSchmidt Science Fellowship in partnership with the Rhodes Trust; WHO; UK Medical Research Council; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; National Institute for Health Research; and Community Jameel.”
‘The new vaccine research centre is concentrating on three types of threat…
Elon Musk’s Twitter?
Short answer to the Beebs heading: No. The story actually made it on GBN, even with a ticker tape extolling it. The better educated people will know that there used to be another place, not far from Porton (https://salisburyhealthcarehistory.uk/clinical-trials-at-the-common-cold-unit/), where they actually invented the term “coronavirus”, and eventually gave up the idea of developing a vaccine, once they realised how variable many of the causes of common colds were.
And yesterday the “news” told us that that is exactly what they are doing at Porton Down.
Quelle surprise.
Yes, but …
This operates on many levels. Think about a large stakeholder map, (something I’ve trained thousands of people in).
Ask yourself, ‘who wants what, why do they want it, what’s in it for them, and importantly, how much influence do they posses?
Sure, the intelligence agencies have an agenda, notably CIA, FBI.
The large corporates, big pharma, food chains, big tech benefit from the crushing of small businesses.
It provides cover too for politicians’ real agendas – not the agendas they tell you about (smokescreens), but what they really want. Think Sunak and Hunt for example.
Wokists in local government leverage the ‘crisis’ opportunities too by grabbing your money, stealing your liberty, a little here, a little there.
Add all these together (and others) and you have your answer.
The point is, what’s occurring now is bigger than a CIA plot.
Before you get too down though, remember: there’s more of us than them and they’re terrified of us.
Prayer helps too.
The term mitigation is often used in legal speak to describe methods that are used to reduce the negative consequences of some event. E.g. if you are suing someone for damages caused by something they did to you, the other side would argue that it is your responsibility to mitigate the consequences, rather than maximising the value of your damages award (assuming that you win the case). While I’m not a lawyer, I have been an experienced litigant along those lines.
One could argue that “lockdown” was contrary to the concept of mitigation, as it caused it’s own problems. A more reasonable approach to health management could have mitigated the consequences caused by whatever it was.
