Met Office’s N Ireland Rainfall Dataset Is Worthless
We know that the Met Office’s long term temperature record is massively corrupted by poor siting and UHI. It seems that their rainfall datasets are also equally corrupted and worthless.
BBC’s Fake Record Rainfall Claims
I gather there was 271 mm in Torbay. But even that pales into insignificance in comparison with some of the totals registered in November 1929. October 1960 was also extremely…
U.S. Climate 2023 Year in Review – In one word: NORMAL
The year is not quite in the books, but it is late enough that we can have a look-back at this year’s weather and climate extremes.

Environmental knowledge is inversely associated with climate change anxiety
“The degree of one’s emotions varies inversely with one’s knowledge of the facts, the less you know the hotter you get.”
The CERES Data
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I do a very large percentage of my work using CERES data. What is CERES? From their website: Climate is controlled by the amount of…
Satellite Data: coolest monthly tropics temperature in over 10 years
From Dr. Roy Spencer: The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June, 2022 was +0.06 deg. C, down (again) from the May, 2022 value of +0.17…
U.S. Heat Waves: Dessler Continues to Step In It
Atmospheric scientist Andrew Dessler of Texas A&M University created a stir online at Twitter last year when he decided that a graph published by the EPA, and cited by Bjorn…
On Comparing 30-Year “Climate Normals”
What is normal weather? One doesn’t spend much time learning about climatology before coming across a marvelous sound bite: “Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.” The…
The Interpretation of Interpolation
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach (see Arctic/Antarctic update at the end) Over in the comments at a post on a totally different subject, you’ll find a debate there about interpolation…
LIVE STREAM: Al Gore on using satellite data to measure climate change
Ironic, since the idea of satellite temperature data from Spencer and Christy et al is rejected by people like Al Gore. Description: This panel discussion will examine ways in which…
WMO: “impact of the COVID-19 confinements [on CO2] cannot be distinguished from natural variability”
Proof that ongoing expensive CO2 reduction efforts are utterly futile. Green hopes that the Covid-19 lockdown would have a significant impact on global CO2 have been dashed.
Global Temperature Update for September 2020: +0.57 deg. C
by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September, 2020 was +0.57 deg. C, up from from the August, 2020 value…
More surfacestations project vindication: Strong UHI temperature biases confirmed in USA
WUWT readers may recall that NOAA did an experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that vindicated my findings about the effects of local urbanization on surface temperature measurements. The urban…
NOAA Satellite records second largest 2-month temperature drop in history
UPDATE: Changed emphasis from Northern Hemisphere extratropics to entire Northern Hemisphere (h/t John Christy) In April, 2020, the Northern Hemisphere experienced its 2nd largest 2-month drop in temperature in the…
Seeing what one expects
By Kevin Kilty This morning I awoke to a mid-April morning temperature of -11F. The 1981 to 2010 climate normals indicate our average daily minimum temperature per this date as…
NOAA Relies on ‘Russian Collusion’ to Claim January Was Hottest Month on Record
Other data shows the USA wasn’t even close to a record. By Anthony Watts In a report generating substantial media attention this month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)…

‘Hidden’ NOAA temperature data reveals that 6 of the last 9 months were below normal in the USA – and NOAA can’t even get June right
A review of state-of-the-art climate data tells a different story than what NOAA tells the public. While media outlets scream “hottest ever” for the world in June and July (it’s…
