From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
By Paul Homewood
At the end of spring the Met Office put out a press release, which claimed that “this spring shows some of the changes we’re seeing in our weather patterns, with more extreme conditions, including prolonged dry, sunny weather, becoming more frequent.”
As there is no evidence at all that dry springs are becoming more common, I asked the Met Office to provide for their claim.
This is their reply:
The UK Climate 2023 report referenced offers this conclusion on the section Page 31 to 36:
In other words, dry seasons if anything are on the decrease.
The section from page 74 merely looks at future projections, which therefore have no relevance at all..
Meanwhile the Christidis study is also irrelevant, as it looks summers in Europe. Similarly the Kendon study is only concerned with projections for summer.
The Met Office have been unable to offer any evidence for Emma Carlisle’s claim. Indeed they cannot, because none exists.
Her incorrect statement should be retracted and a correction published.
