Poorly sited weather station leads to a fake record high in Germany

Wait a minute, I just read that Perez, the Chairman of the DNC, says that climate change is a threat to the UNIVERSE. It’s worse that we thought and I take back my prior sarcasm. I promise to walk everywhere and never fart again.

Exactly the same thing as last month’s famous high in Gallargues-Monstrueux . A class 3 station similarly situated near water ( which would tend to reduce temps in case of a south wind ) and near a massive road haulage depot with acres of nice black bitumen and 1000 m^2 of steel sheet roofed warehouses …. up wind of the prevailing wind on the day in question.

Similarly, the national weather service dispacted someone to check the station and concluded that since the wind was not from the south , the water ( the only feature offically recorded as a potential problem ) was not a factor on this day and similarly “validated” the reading.

A professional met officer sent specifically to check the site could not have been unaware of the lorry park but conveniently chose to ignore it on the pretext that it was not recorded as a potential cause of bias.

who would want to miss the opertunity to get in the Guiness book of record temperatures ?!

So like Germany , France has a new FAKE “hottest ever” temperature on record. Duly “validated” for media to freely use and misrepresent the “climate crisis”.

Thanks to Pierre Gosselin for checking out the German record site.

Can’t really call this a “Fake Record”, since it was entered following established rules. At best it’s a inaccurate record which does not reflect natural weather, but only a single site in an unnatural setting.

But you have actually made it somewhat useful, in that you have established that there is at least a 3C UHI effect in that area. If one were to create individual corrections for urban sites by using nearby rural sites, one could then correct the raw data to be more accurate. It would be interesting to see what the result is, but it’s simpler to just use well situated rural stations to determine natural temperatures. I seem to remember that has been done for limited areas and resulted in a warming trend of about…1/2 (?) of the current reported trend.

So assuming my memory is accurate, up to 50% of the current warming is explained by UHI.

There is a general problem with these supposedly record temperatures throughout the UK, and all for the same reason UHI!

Ironically, the BBC regularly confirms this in its daily weather forecasts. The weather man or woman quotes the UK temperatures for the UK as indicated on the chart behind them, and then very often says,” but in more rural areas the temperature will be a degree or two lower!

Yet these temperatures are as recorded on the same weather stations which which are the recorded temperatures used to “substantiate” ongoing CAGW/Climate change and their continuous demands for CO2 emission reductions.

Rural areas cover far more area of the UK than urbanised areas. Urban areas are also increasing due to urban sprawl and new housing developments in rural areas That means that weather stations set up years ago in what were more rural areas are now often in urbanised areas and suffer the same UHI effects. There is therefore a varying but significant effect on supposedly recorded average temperatures.

The temperature differences quoted by the BBC in rural areas confirm that average temperatures are actually significantly lower than those reported, massively more than the target 1.5 degrees C temperature rise in 80 years that we have and are still paying for on man-made CO2 emission reduction programmes.

I seem to recall, but can’t find the source, that the temperature at Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Naval Regatta at Spithead in 1897 as 100 degrees , i.e. over 38 degrees centigrade – the same temperature just recorded by the Met Office and reported as the highest ever!
