There is no such thing as precise temperature data...My daughter is 60 miles away....and it’s 5 degrees colder there.
The UK Met office said they were going to ‘start over’ ...
Deniers is right, but what else could they do, what they did before was proved to be lies.
STOLEN????
then thank God they were stolen, Washington comPost.
Weather Stations Disappearing Worldwide

UNaccontable bureaucracies should be dismantled, their bureaucrats defunded, delegitimized and jailed when necessary.
The only way to catch out temperature monitoring mischief is to solicit several people in the same area in which the official temperatures are taken, as volunteers to take their own daily temperature readings, under strict rules.
I notice that the official temperature taken in my area varies from my own readings by as much as 10 degrees throughout the year. Which is no surprise, those readings being taken at a concrete and asphalt airport.
It is pretty obvious that hanky-panky is going on if the official reading gives one temperature, and four other readings close to it all give a different reading, that is the same for the four.
Then it has to be done on a daily basis, as the official reading tends to cherry pick results and make improper averages. So all the daily results will have to be analyzed by an expert statistician.
