The 'Mean Central England Temperature Anomaly' Anomaly
A few days ago, I reported that the mean Central England temperature for July up to the 26th was 15.9C:
The Era Of Global Boiling Passes Great Britain By In July
It’s almost certainly going to be the ‘hottest July evah’, as in, it hasn’t been this hot since the last interglacial (the Eemian - the previous geologically brief warm period before the last Ice Age - which in turn lasted 100,000 years) when the Arctic was ice free in summer. Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the UN, has said that we’ve left the e…
Here’s the screenshot of the July figure:
The mean CET for July in the Era of Global Boiling was -0.1C, meaning that it was slightly colder on average than the last thirty years. Well, apparently it’s been getting warmer, so the mean has gone up to 16.1C now (an increase of 0.2C), meaning that the anomaly (a measure of how much above or below the mean is with reference to the fixed 30 year climate normal, e.g. 1961-1990) should now be +0.1C. But it would appear that the anomaly has increased by more than the increase in the mean temperature over the last 3 days. It’s now 0.2C.
That’s rather anomalous. It will be interesting to see the Met Office’s final verdict on July Central England temperature.
This is what happens when climate crazies learn from mob accountants on how to "cook the books".
The 'official' mean central England temperature for July is now 16.1C and has been entered into the main database. The Met Office are still insisting that the anomaly is 0.2C, which doesn't make sense.
