Why do you do it? Please tell me why, I know there's a good few Met
Office employees here using this NG, so please tell me what goes on at UKMO and do you agree with it? What am I going on about? Okay here it is: as I sit here rained off on a Sydenham Saturday I graze on the climate web looking for tasty and sometimes damn right sour and sickening tit bits of Climate news and as I try to keep abreast of things I see this on UKMO website you know the one called 'Met Office and Climate Change'. So I have a gander at their climate change pages and click on 'Climate Change Hot Topic' link http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/news/topics/ and there I/you will find a litany of tripe supplied primarily by the Guardian and the BBC. One particular piece of tripe however really stuck in my craw "Stand by the Standpipes, the drought is back" It links to an article by the Guardian environmentalist journalist Fiona Harvey. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...rought-warning Funnily enough I couldn't see one reference to Global Warming in Fiona's article yet the Met Office are so keen to be seen thumping the AGW tub that they immediately stick it in their AGW Hot Topics page, this sort of tax payers funder propaganda is nauseating to say the least but what really gets me is that the article is still linked there on the UKMO AGW page and would read to a new visitor with no knowledge of UK weather that we were going through some awful terrible drought due to climate change. But the final straw that caused me to retch was the fact we've had more than enough rain since that article was written in June; even UKMO's summary for the month of June contradicts and makes the article look inaccurate at beast and downright misinformation and lies at worst . There should be a proviso on that ridiculous hot topics page stating that 'rumours of an AGW death threatening drought were greatly exaggerated and hysterically premature. So eager are the UKMO hierarchy to promote AGW they are now resorting to being downright dishonest and deceitful. Will anyone defend this embarrassing nonsense? Here from the horses duplicitous mouth http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/ " June 2011 The month began on a fine, warm note, but the weather gradually became more unsettled, with showers and some longer spells of rain. These eased the very dry conditions across parts of eastern England. A short- lived warm spell in the last week gave the highest temperatures of the year so far. Temperatures overall were close to the 1971-2000 average, although somewhat above in East Anglia and other eastern counties of England and somewhat below in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. It was the coolest June across the UK since 2001. The monthly rainfall pattern reflects the showery nature of the month. Parts of southern England, south Wales, Northern Ireland and southern and eastern Scotland were wetter than normal. In contrast, some parts of the north Midlands had a relatively dry month. Sunshine totals overall were close to normal, varying from a little below in Northern Ireland and most of Scotland to above normal from west Wales across to eastern England." |

The difficulty is in the accuracy of long- term forecasts, which is poor. This was a Guardian hack who doesn't understand anything about long- term forecasting accuracy, or its difficulties ( and it would have "stuck in my craw" as well)..............but neither, unfortunately, do you. |

Back to the point of your initial post and ignoring the bile that followed my, quite reasonable, criticism. The MetO were absolutely correct to issue drought warnings at the time, as they are well aware that you can't trust *any* long-term forecasts and what is shown on the models is there for 10-16 days max. The weather could have turned back dry and warm again straight afterwards and many, including people on here, were saying it would. |
