(Met) Office’s claims
“climate change
is driving UK’s
"extreme weather”.
Its annual UK report says
2019 was the 12th warmest
year in a series from 1884.
Not the warmest.
Not even the tenth warmest.
But number 12 !
It shows UK temperatures
in 2019 were +1.1° C above
the 1961-1990 long-term
average.
But the Met Office’s
2019 UK climate report
offers no evidence
that UK weather
is getting more
extreme.
Decadal average
UK temperatures
have dropped

2000-2009.
The UK's
rainfall total
for 2019
was 1,227 mm,
107% of the
1981–2010
average, which is
nothing unusual.
Tide gauge
sea level data
from North Shields
and Newlyn,
both long running sites
with high quality records,
do not support theories
of accelerating sea level
rise due to climate change.
