You really are displaying an appalling lack of scientific (and in this
particular case mathematical) knowledge. The Met Office in their
wisdom show the 95% confidence limits as well as the actual figure
for each year. If you take 95% to be +/- two standard deviations then
for the 2 to be equal a reduction of 0.3 of a standard deviation in
the higher and an increase of 0.3 in the lower (or any other
combination with the same sum) is all that is required.

In other words they are fudging the figures.

They are applying proven scientific methods. You on the other hand are
just continuing to be a clueless idiot.

Two different years - yes or no?

You have had the rational explanation. That you chose not to accept it,
or anything else you don't like, comes as no surprise. You are an empty
barrel making a great deal of noise but not any sense.
