Italian architect and film producer Robin Monotti has been highlighting dubious claims made by the BBC about temperatures in Italy in recent weeks. The BBC was not happy and its “climate change disinformation specialist” did a hit piece on him. Monotti fact-checked BBC’s article and pointed out its false claims, yet again.

On 19 July, BBC Weather tweeted: “Another scorching day ahead in southern Europe. Whilst temperatures won’t be as high as yesterday in northern Spain, we could see highs of 46 or 47C for the islands of Sardinia and Sicily. #europeheatwave” The tweet has had 1,6 million views.
The same day, Monotti tweeted: “BBC tweets a temperature for Sicily which is 10°C HIGHER than the BBC app for Palermo, Sicily. What’s going on?” His tweet has been viewed 1,1 million times.
On the same day BBC was tweeting temperatures of 47oC while its app was displaying 37oC, No Tricks Zone explained in an article what had happened. The #europeheatwave hysteria started when climate sensationalist media outlets, such as Relotius Spiegel, uncritically cited a sloppily and manipulatively formulated 13 July report from the European Space Agency (“ESA”). ESA’s report first referred to “air” temperature and then later specified that it was, in fact, referring to surface temperature.
Surface temperature refers to the temperature right at the ground surface. Usually, weather reports use “air” temperatures which are measured two metres above the ground. The surface temperature is much hotter than the air temperature. In Sicily the temperature reached only 32°C over the weekend of 15 and 16 July – a far cry from 48°C reported, which illustrates the huge difference between ground surface temperature and readings taken two metres above the ground.
“Once the trickery was exposed, Spiegel quietly changed the wording in its 14 July report … It’s clear that the authorities and media tried to pull a fast one on the public but were caught again, thanks to careful readers,” No Tricks Zone wrote.

Not to be deterred by contradictions within their own reporting nor by the backtracking of other news agencies, BBC Weather stuck to its script and on 23 July tweeted: “One of Europe’s highest ever temperatures is possible for Monday in Sicily; 48C! The European temperature record currently stands at 48.8C.”
On 25 July, BBC Weather made yet another claim about temperatures in Italy. It tweeted: “The highest temperature in Europe so far this year was 48.2C recorded in Jerzu, Sardinia yesterday. It’s also the highest recorded July temperature for Europe.” The tweet has been viewed 226,700 times.
Monotti tweeted: “BBC weather claims 48.2°C for Jerzu, Sardinia yesterday. Jerzu weather station itself maximum for yesterday is instead charted at 41.5°C.” His tweet has been viewed 187,300 times.
The next day, a BBC senior journalist and “climate change disinformation specialist” contacted Monotti to inform him that he was writing a piece to debunk claims on social media that extreme temperatures across Europe were fake. As he was invited to make further comments, Monotti responded.
BBC’s climate change disinformation specialist wrote:
26th July 2023
Dear Mr Monotti,
I hope this finds you well.
My name is Marco Silva and I am a senior journalist with BBC News in London.
I am currently writing a piece examining claims, shared on social media, that extreme temperatures recorded across Europe were somehow “faked”.
The article will be published on the BBC News website later this week. It will examine, among other claims, two tweets you have put out recently:
https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1683795298672320514
https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1681625398856040448
Our story will debunk:
1 Suggestions that there was a discrepancy in the BBC’s reporting on temperatures in Sicily last week;
2 Suggestions that temperatures in Jerzu did not reach 48.2C.
Is there any additional comments you would like to add to your earlier statements? If so, I would ask you to kindly get back to us by tomorrow (Thursday) at 0900am, so that we can reflect your statement in our output.
I look forward to hearing from you.
All best wishes,
Marco Silva

Monotti replied:
26th July 2023
Dear Marco Silva
Please find the link to the Italian Air Force weather portal, reporting from Jerzu, Sardinia
https://www.meteoam.it/it/meteo-citta/jerzu
If you click under Oservazione, then Lunedi 24 Luglio, you can clearly see that the maximum temperature reported for Jerzu is 41 degrees centigrade, at the station Perdasdefogu.
I tweeted this here:
https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1684160135055446016
This corresponds to the same temperature reported on my tweet, linked to meteonetwork.eu of 41.5 degrees.
How likely is it that in the same small locality of Sardinia there is a discrepancy of 7 degrees between different weather stations? Are there even different weather stations in that small locality?
I would say it is only possible with either a misreported reading somewhere, or a corrupted weather station.
These are the most likely possibilities, which apply clearly to over reporting of temperatures in Sicily too:
1. Confusing land surface temperatures with air temperatures, as a result of a misworded ESA communication which I also tweeted about here, which clearly was reported as weather forecasts by a number of news agencies, due to the confusing nature of the ESA communication, which they acknowledged and then corrected:
https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1684169082457694209
2. Corrupted climate stations positioned in urban heat islands, next to brick walls, asphalt pavements, airports.
3. Sensationalist reporting by news agencies confusing forecasts with actual recorded temperatures.
It is rather assuming to announce that you can “debunk” anything. This is not how balanced journalism works You should be impartial and report claims and what evidence backs them up, as I did in this email to you. This is what journalism should be about, not “debunking”, that is always up to the reader to decide who is really debunking who.
I look forward to seeing my comment above reflected in your output, and if it is not reflected fairly and in a balanced way, I will then consider reflecting it on my own output, as a balanced record of our exchange.
Best regards
Robin Monotti (ARB MA Dip.Arch BSc)
False Claims made in BBC’s article
Yesterday, the BBC’s “climate change disinformation specialist” published his article: ‘False claims that heatwave is bogus spread online’. Monotti has fact-checked the article in a Twitter thread.

Irs all lies They set it up by only selling thermometers rhat read to 50c That’s rubbish Stick it outside and watch it hit 50 easily and want to go higher by far but cant .Theyve lied forever about rhe temp to us .Weve been living outside in temps well over 50c all my life and well before.In summer obviously Now rheyre scaring people by actually starting to tell the truth It’s not changing they’re just not concealing the real temps . . I’m certain the average real temperatures here in summer are aroubd 65c.
If the BBC announced that fresh air was safe to breathe, I would go put and buy a gas mask.
Only the stupid believe what the BBC has to say.
Note – “The same day, Monotti tweeted: “BBC tweets a temperature for Sicily which is 10°C HIGHER than the BBC app for Palermo, Sicily. What’s going on?” His tweet has been viewed 1,1 million times.
On the same day BBC was tweeting temperatures of 47oC while its app was displaying 37oC”.
That was about the BBC weather app.
On 30th June, 2023, the BBC news reported that the BBC Weather App had a fault and was showing inaccurate figures. It was telling people that it was going to be cold, but, they said,it isn’t, it will be warm, they said.
On that day, it was cold and I had to put some heating on. They were lying about a fault in the weather app. The app was working properly and it was telling the truth. In claiming that it was faulty, lying BBC was running a fake news campaign to deny the reality, because the cold weather goes against the global warming lie. The lying BBC always lies about climate change. Lies and re-writing history. They said they would fix the app, what they were actually doing was applying a fiddle factor to make it produce fictional, higher temperatures to back up the global warming / climate change lie.

I’m re-submitting this with a few changes because my original post was flagged as awaiting approval. When that happens my posts rarely appear even though they don’t have anything in them that shoudl get them banned. I’m fed up of it happening.

[…] – When it comes to temperatures in Italy, BBC lies and lies and then lies some more […]
I love the way the BBC has “disinformation specialists”.🤣🤣🤣
Don’t they have any sense of irony?
Think only the hopelessly dumbed down/conditioned can now be unaware geoengineering is a reality. And that we’re constantly lied to about almost everything, including the weather.
As a S.E Blighty resident, the temps have been really cold for the time of year so far, yet the Filth’s stooges try to convince us we’re slowly roasting. Being high up enough to have a clear view of the drastic geoengineering going on, sad to say i predict artificially manipulated, record high temperatures next month, maybe beyond.
All the talk currently is of things like underground climate change etc, personally sure there’s an ulterior motive to cause more physical harm and ecological devastation.
Why am I not even surprised, any and everything the BBC tell or suggests is suspect. I doubt the lie straight in bed.
The British Bunkum Corporation doing their masters´ bidding!!!
I’m glad to see that some of today’s younger generations are intelligent and not easily brainwashed,
In thirty seconds, a young woman comments on climate change and taxes.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/taxes/climate-change-taxes/
Yes this is all lie!
when people stop believing in global warming nonsense, scientists come up with great idea how to scare people by inventing “climate change”
which nobody can deny that climate is changing. It change every season, month day and hour? Italy was always hot, living in Rome in 1987 at noon temperature in July/August was over 40 degree. Grass was burned, asphalt was melting. At noon city was deserted. U could get a chair and sit in the middle of street, no people or cars on the streets, only tourists were walking around and dying of heat.
so an idea of “climate change” works perfect. Global warming is no more used to scare people.
Zero Hedge has a piece on the BBC’s coverage of \ lies about the European weather.
“Feverish BBC Reporting On European ‘Heatwaves’ Debunked By Actual Temperature Readings”.
https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/feverish-bbc-reporting-european-heatwaves-debunked-actual-temperature-readings
The Daily Sceptic author includes a quip on the BBC’s coverage – “No comment is required, although at this point the arrival of the Monty Python Colonel marching onto the set declaring, “stop it, this sketch is getting silly. Badly written and too silly”, might be necessary.”
Just heard on the BBC Radio Four 18:00 news – the top “news” item – warmist propaganda and bluff. The announcement was that a group representing 20 million people is calling on the government to not water down its commitment to the green agenda. “Calling on”? It sounded more like a threat.
20 Million? Really? We we told that this group includes the National Trust, the RSPCA and some others – but do all the members of those groups support the climate change agenda? Were they all asked? I doubt it, and find it highly likely that a lot of them know about the climate fraud and oppose the “green” agenda and tyranny.
So to claim that they represent the views of 20 million people is a lie.
Don’t expect truth from the BBC.
One has to laugh at the latest sensational claim by the UN. Apparently, it has ceased to be global warming. It is now the beginning of global boiling. How they managed to announce it with a straight face, I am not sure. Perhaps it was exceptional self control or maybe, the loonies have taken over the asylum.

All the remarks made here agree with Mr. Monotti’s findings, so I agree with them as well.
The truth must be covered up in order to maintain the great climate lie –
