‘Mystic’ Met Office Strikes Again: Models Get Volcanic Ash Cloud Wrong

The Met Office has been blamed for triggering the “unnecessary” six-day closure of British airspace which has cost airlines, passengers and the economy more than £1.5 billion. The government agency was accused of using a scientific model based on “probability” rather than fact to forecast the spread of the volcanic ash cloud that made Europe [...]

BBQ Summer for UK in 2010?

It was the Met men who told us to expect a ‘barbecue summer’ in 2009, which turned out to be so spectacularly wrong that it led to an embarrassed Met Office dropping long-term seasonal forecasts. In fact, last summer was a wash-out, as correctly predicted by Positive Weather Solutions, which has ‘out-forecast’ the Met Office [...]

Met Office Abandons Seasonal Forecasts, Claims to Have Found AGW Fingerprint

So, having made many failed forecasts over the past few years, such as a record high for global average temperatures in 2007 and barbecue summers and mild winters that never happened,  the Met Office has finally given up on seasonal forecasts according to the BBC. Instead, they will focus on monthly predictions. Now correct me [...]

Met Office Blocked Questions on its Own Man’s Role in ‘Hockey Stick’ Row

The Meteorological Office is blocking public scrutiny of the central role played by its top climate scientist in a highly controversial report by the beleaguered United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Professor John Mitchell, the Met Office’s Director of Climate Science, shared responsibility for the most worrying headline in the 2007 Nobel Prize-winning IPCC [...]

More Trouble for the Met Office

The Met Office may be dropped by the BBC following complaints about its inaccurate weather forecasts. The state-owned forecaster has recently been criticised for predicting it would be a ‘mild’ winter when we have just shivered in the biggest deep freeze for 30 years. And last year it infamously predicted a ‘barbecue summer’. The blunders [...]

‘Mystic’ Met Office Fails Again

The Met Office has admitted that it failed to warn the public of the heavy snow that brought swaths of Britain to a standstill on Wednesday. Barry Grommet, a Met Office forecaster, said: “We put our hands up and concede that we did not expect the snow to spread so far east, and with the [...]

25% Pay Increase for ‘Mystic’ Met Office Chief

The head of the Met Office, the national weather service which has been heavily criticised for getting its forecasts wrong, is now paid more than the Prime Minister, after receiving a 25 per cent pay rise. According to a copy of the organisation’s latest annual report and accounts, John Hirst, the organisation’s chief executive, received [...]

UK Met Office: The £170m-a-Year Farce

Its supercomputer makes 1,000 billion calculations a second – then tells us to expect a mild winter. But what would you expect from a ‘scientific’ organisation that for 20 years has been dominated by climate change zealots, and whose current chairman is the former boss of the World Wildlife Fund? Read the entire article: The [...]

Met Office Criticised for Political Lobbying

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) today criticised the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the UK Met Office for their political intervention in the international negotiations currently taking place in Copenhagen. The Met Office claims that preliminary temperature data for 2009 show that global temperatures continue to rise and that the argument that global warming [...]

‘Mystic’ Met Office: Record Global Temperature Predicted for 2010

Having previously made the failed prediction that 2007 would be a record year for global average temperatures, our Mystic Met Office is trying again with a similar prediction for 2010. Well, if at first you don’t succeed… The Met Office seems to have gone into climate alarmism over-drive during the Copenhagen Wealth Redistribution Summit, also [...]
