“We’re Not Stupid” | Met Office Says UK Had Warmest May Since Records Began In 1884

The UK had its warmest May and spring on record, despite the wet, dull conditions for many parts of the country, provisional Met Office figures show.

May 2024 recorded an average temperature of 13.1C for the UK, beating the previous record in 2008 by a full 1C, making it the warmest May in records dating back to 1884.

Talk’s International Editor Isabel Oakeshott and James Melville join Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss this further.

I am 85 and have never known weather like this in my life. Still got my heating on. I’ve stopped worrying about the cost. We are surrounded by criminals.

[terrykeller]

Meteorologists are the only people who can be wrong 90% of the time and still keep their jobs.

[chriscantplay...]

If BBC want to say it was the hottest May on record I want them to “fact check” my gas bill

[johnnoble]

Nobody's saying the met office is lying? Well i bloody am! 😡

[GrahamSouthorn]

The Met Office should be independent scientists FFS, not propagandists fiddling the data.

[billpentelow]

I am 71 i work outdoors everyday, make no mistake this was the coldest start i have ever seen.

[Freespeecherson]

Its the 12th June and it’s currently 9 degrees. This has been the coldest wettest year since records began. Don’t need the met office to tell us common sense.

I am sick of the lies and gaslighting and also of the mass idiocy that swallows this crap.

[johnkitchener]

If the met office truly believe what they said they need to be fired

[keithmil]

ABSOLUTE JOKE ITS BEEN SO COLD I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT WAS THE COLDEST MAY ON RECORD

[mr.perceval]

"No one can say the MET office is yes we bloody can!

[SubjectiveFunny]

Wow, this is a glimpse into how stupid they think we are...
No wonder the country is the way it is..

[simonquigley]

Incredible gaslighting by the met office. 100% deliberate!

[borbolettaazul]

The weather is manipulated and they think we are stupid? 😮

[RonJames-rbeg]

If we had the warmest May, why are we now having the coldest June? Lies lies and more feckin' lies.

[gerardmaynes]

Absolute BS. Do they think we are idiots? Should be in prison.

[theflyinghamster]

I moved back to the UK in Nov 2023 after 20 years overseas, it’s now June and iv put the house I bought in Jan 24 on the market and am returning, miserable weather, woke and pathetic political leaders who hate British people !

[Jonnythebaker]

Why not accuse them of lying. The warmest may is utter bullshit ask the farming community or gardeners.

[suemurphy]

Oh please..they say something stupid like: "By 2065 it will be so much hotter".. They can't even get the next day's weather right...????

[escapetheratracenow]

Trust the science?
After the last four years?
Never! Never again!!
