As you know, I’ve covered a lot of badly sited weather stations here on WUWT, and as a rule, there are far more badly sited weather stations close to asphalt,…

BIG NEWS – Verified by NOAA – poor weather station siting leads to artificial long term warming
I’ve been saying for years that surface temperature measurements (and long term trends) have been affected by encroachment of urbanization on the placement of weather stations used to measure surface…
Ooops, Dutch Meteorological Institute caught in weather station siting failure – moved station and told nobody
KNMI has been measuring the wrong temperature for years WUWT reader Mike writes with this little bombshell on one of the world’s leading meteorological agencies. It seems they can’t get…
Standards for weather station siting using the new CRN
NOAA has put together a new series of surface stations called the Climate Reference Network (CRN) As a specialist in the technology of meteorology, I like this program a lot.…
Does your weather station get the wind? How station siting compromises temperature measurements via wind issues
Guest essay by Bob Fernley-Jones Well Melbourne (Oz) sure does, (and we are the butt of a few intercity jokes, a polite one being; we can have “four seasons all…
More bad siting in Australian weather stations
WUWT Commenter “Boy on a Bike” was inspired by Willis article on Darwin (See: The Smoking Gun At Darwin Zero) to have a look at stations in his part of the…
Urbanization Effects on GHCN Temperature Trends, Part I: The Urbanization Characteristics of the GHCN Stations
I’m convinced that there is spurious warming remaining in the GHCN-based temperature data. The only question is, how much?
Participate in the SurfaceStations Project – Version 2
UPDATE: 6/3/22 The acquistion period has closed, and I have what I need. Look for a new report in about a month. Sincere thanks to everyone who helped! – Anthony…
Extreme Weather During the Maunder Minimum
From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT By Paul Homewood According to the BBC, global warming has made our weather more extreme. Perhaps they would like to go back…
Urban Heat Island Effects on U.S. Temperature Trends, 1973-2020: USHCN vs. Hourly Weather Stations
I argue that, based upon the importance of quality temperature trend calculations to national energy policy, a new dataset not dependent upon the USHCN Tmax/Tmin observations is required.
More surfacestations project vindication: Strong UHI temperature biases confirmed in USA
WUWT readers may recall that NOAA did an experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that vindicated my findings about the effects of local urbanization on surface temperature measurements. The urban…
Poorly sited weather station leads to a fake record high in Germany
From Pierre Gosselin: Lingen Cheated: Germany’s New All-Time Record High Resulted From DWD Weather Service Lousy Station Siting During last week’s record-setting European heat wave, Germany’s previous record of 40.3C…
Another failure of peer review, due to corrupt temperature data from a single station
UPDATED – see note below. This appeared in Eurekalert a couple of weeks ago. The headline, at first glance, looks like good news, right? “Global warming” is killing off tsetse flies,…
Laughable weather station maintenance causes highest ever temperature record in Spain
h/t to Dr. Ryan Maue In Spain, Paco Eslava García has been following my lead on the poor quality of weather stations that produce record-high temperatures. I recently pointed out how the…
NOAA/NWS document: wind turbines affect weather radar, create false storm impressions
From the Watertown Daily News, and the “law of unintended consequences” department comes an inconvenient truth from the National Weather Service, that upon further investigation appears to be a nationwide…
Revisiting wind turbine impacts – Erroneous recent calculation highlights need to assess renewable energy sustainability claims
Guest essay by Paul Driessen Foreword: An article I wrote several weeks ago had a couple of stupid math errors. This column attempts to correct them – and take readers…
New USGS study shows heat retaining concrete and asphalt have encroached upon US Climate Stations
A new study from USGS by Keven Gallo and George Xian verifies what we’ve already learned and published on via the Surface Stations project; that concrete and asphalt (aka impervious surfaces)…
Press Release – Watts at #AGU15 The quality of temperature station siting matters for temperature trends
30 year trends of temperature are shown to be lower, using well-sited high quality NOAA weather stations that do not require adjustments to the data. This was in AGU’s press release news…
And here we have been told it's 'climate disruption' causing local weather changes, when it's actually deforestation
From the University of Maryland the department of Al Gore’s Kilimanjaro claims: Deforestation is messing with our weather — and our food New study, the first of its kind, investigates…
I wonder how this dedicated weather observer feels about having his readings adjusted by NCDC?
In my travels surveying weather stations around the United States, I met many dedicated observers like this one. It is sad indeed that their painstakingly recorded data by observers like…
Weather station 'X'
A mystery for you. This weekend (weather permitting) Willis and I will be visiting the location of this weather station in the USA. Can you guess where it is? I…
Study: Many US weather stations show cooling, maximum temperatures flat
From the we told you so department and The Hockey Schtick: It is all about nighttime influence on minimum temperatures, mostly due to the heat sink effect of urbanization and…
A new paper pushes back on the 'Arctic amplification is making extreme weather' idea
There has been much worry that extreme weather is the result of changes in the Arctic. For example: Jennifer Francis, Rutgers University, 25 January 2012. The “Arctic Paradox” was coined…
