GLOBAL WARMING?

A WARM WELCOME TO PITLOCHRY WEATHER!
THE ONLY ONLINE WEATHER SERVICE WHERE THE OBSERVER LIVES & RECORDS IN PITLOCHRY, USING PREVIOUS MET OFFICE CLIMATE STATION EXPERIENCE. FORECASTING IS BASED ON MET OFFICE & BBC MATERIAL, WHICH IS THEN TAILORED FOR THE PITLOCHRY AREA, USING LOCAL KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE.

                              GLOBAL WARMING?    YOU BET !!

Recently, I've read a couple of articles that seek to deny that global warming is taking place & again today, in a letter in the Telegraph, some guy from Buckinghamshire takes the same line.  His starting point is an attack on Met Office data & then goes on to blind us all with science, which sends you either searching for a dictionary, or more likely helps you to nod off in this afternoon's transient sunny intervals between the showers (unless, of course you are keen on tennis)

            I've got news for MR TAYLOR of Bucks.     In SCOTLAND, observations made at MET OFFICE sites across the whole country, taken by experienced professional observers from standard sheathed-pattern thermometers, housed in standard Stevenson Screens, in correctly exposed sites ( level, grass-covered ground with no tree, building or anything else any nearer to the screen than twice their height) show the following.

FROM JUNE 2013 to JUNE 2014 --(13months)--EVERY MONTH BUT 1 HAD TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL.  The 1 exception was Novenber 2013.

I suggest that theories showing static or falling temperature trends should be firmly inserted in a place where the sun never shines.    Barry (06/07/14)
