No matter how many times the Met Office get caught out misleading the public or not maintaining their Weather Reporting Stations properly, it seems that the Government are ready to defend them. The reason why, of course, is because the Government is supposed to be overseeing what they are doing and so they (just as in the Post Office scandal) would also be implicated in the fall-out. A second reason is that all Government Ministers are signed up to the climate emergency scenario and so back anything that furthers their cause.
When I wrote to the Minister in charge of the Met Office (see here: Vallance’s Vanishing Act: Official Response to Stationgate | Tallbloke's Talkshop) The Minister merely denied there was any problem and claimed they did a first class job. Now in his latest survey Ray Sanders has found very poor practice yet again. This time in the maintenance of the immediate surroundings of a station. Here are the details: Keswick WMO03212 – Yet more evidence of Met Office Falsehoods….how fast do trees grow? | Tallbloke's Talkshop
It is both sad and rather pathetic that such simple errors are found in so many of these measuring stations. You can understand why they are so desparate to deny there is any problem, as doing so would open up a Pandora's box of questions about the reliability of the Met Office's complete set of temperature records, and that must be avoided at all costs.
There is a good update on the whole scandal here:
