The max temp for London is generally at Heathrow, with the station on
the edge of a black asphalt runway.

They\'re put over grassy areas, about 5 feet above the ground.

Your \"at the end of a runway... on the edge of a black asphalt runway\"

The \'on the edge of a black asphalt runway\' Heathrow weather station

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/11D83/production/_102719037_dbftg31x0aqjdjb.jpglarge.jpg

The weather station is north of two runways, near the end of one. A
gentle breeze from the south will sweep up hot air from the southern
runway and all its feeders, the air conditioned terminal buildings,
the northern runway and its feeders, and the weather station gets all
that. A tiny patch of grass won\'t matter.

Jet wash can be warm too.

Of course Heathrow sets records.

I lived about about a mile north of there when I worked at EM Central Research (from 1976 to 1979), and it isn\'t any kind of \"tiny patch of grass\"., as you can see from the aerial photograph in the BBC piece.

It\'s not a heat island on its own - as the BBC piece points out, the temperatures there are much the same as Kew Gardens and the \"heat island\" is the whole Greater London area which sprawls for miles in all directions (with parks and sports fields all over the place).

Air can move that far.

Check Google Earth. It\'s on a road, surrounded by roads, north of a
mess of runways and taxiways and terminal buildings. In the BBC pic,
there\'s nothing but buildings and pavement; not a tree in sight. Looks
bleak.

I wonder what those big green boxes are.

There must be a reason why Heathrow is often the hottest place in
England.

Probably because it IS the hottest place in England.

But that is just the raw data rating, and that reading is ***adjusted*** before it is used for the computation of mean global surface temperature. The processing uses the principle of statistical homogenization to correct for the Heathrow reading as long as it\'s anomalous compared to readings from nearby temperature collection. The hard facts are that when the adjustments are considered globally, just as many that adjust upward are adjusted downward so adjustment contributes a net zero bias to the global statistic, which is what you want. There is strength in numbers. According to the author of the paper linked below, the effect of data adjustment is to indicate ***less rate of warming*** than unadjusted data. Which brings up another point, the measurement is mainly used to determine ***rate*** of warming more so than a scalar temperature reading.

The little ice age isn\'t the beginning of a 1 degree per century \'trend\'.
What mechanism based on the LIA could possibly CAUSE such a trend?

Not credible; Europe is having lots of heat injuries and even deaths
<https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/heatwave-in-europe-here-are-the-worst-hit-countries-3179837>
and that doesn\'t fit the story of harmless warming.

John Larkin doesn\'t know any realistic good news about CO2, either.

It still makes headlines as proof of Global Warming.

Do you think that\'s because just maybe there is warming? And that\'s what all the hullabaloo with the historical record is all about. The past record is the baseline for measuring the present against.
Sure, about 1 deg C per century, coming out of the LIA. A bit of
warmth and a bunch of CO2 is good news for nature and humanity.

Cheer up. All that fear and gloom will kill you; warming won\'t.

What you\'re hearing about CO2 and crop yields is wrong:
\"Though rising CO2 can stimulate plant growth, it also reduces the nutritional value of most food crops. Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide reduce the concentrations of protein and essential minerals in most plant species, including wheat, soybeans, and rice. This direct effect of rising CO2 on the nutritional value of crops represents a potential threat to human health. Human health is also threatened by increased pesticide use due to increased pest pressures and reductions in the efficacy of pesticides.\"

Nothing good comes out of excessive CO2.

John Larkin didn\'t look far enough. Heathrow is a bit south of the Grand Junction canal which still goes from Slough towards central London. The area started off as swamp, and got drained a few centuries ago. There are quite a few trees around and open spaces. The businesses that set up along the canal mostly closed down when the railways came in and the land reverted to grazing until London\'s urban sprawl moved out there. It\'s still not heavily built up.

> I wonder what those big green boxes are.

There aren\'t so much big, as close to the camera. There\'s a vent pipe coming out of the top of the nearest one, and a liquid crystal display visible on it\'s side. I\'d guess some kind of noxious gas monitoring - perhaps oxides of nitrogen, perhaps partially burnt hydrocarbons.

> There must be a reason why Heathrow is often the hottest place in England.

It\'s on the edge of London, a large urban heat island, and quite a way inland, though nowhere in England is more than 70 miles from the sea.

Excellent point; if the hypothesis is that heat buildup on asphalt wafts laterally to the
weather station, recall that hot air (PV=nRT is good enough; no need for VDW corrections)
is less dense that cooler air, so it would rise (create an updraft). That means surface-parallel winds
don\'t carry it to the not-so-tall weather station yonder, but rather that surface wind in the vicinity
will tend to be FROM the weather station toward the asphalt.

On the wee hours of winter mornings, though, if the asphalt radiates heat effectively at night, it\'d
generate COLD air, which will spread laterally to all sides, eventually mixing in to other surface air,
and you would expect some increase in cold temperatures records. That\'d be a downdraft site, it doesn\'t
remove thermal-extreme mass from ground level at any great rate.

OK, urban heat island effect cools cities. And the Heathrow weather
station never sets high temp records because the runways and buildings
cool the weather station.

Thanks for explaining that.

Do you think that\'s because just maybe there is warming? And that\'s what all the hullabaloo with the historical record is all about. The past record is the baseline for measuring the present against.

Sure, about 1 deg C per century, coming out of the LIA.

The little ice age was essentially local cooling, around the North Atlantic ocean, not global - and it had gone away long before the current warming got under way.

It has started killing people already. Not as many as cold snaps, so far, but there\'s more warming in the pipeline.

That was reality. It\'s mainly about more fertiliser and higher-yielding variants. Get the local climate too warm, and the yields drop. Throw in a drought, and they go through the floor. Australia\'s wheat yield has been erratic in recent years. Droughts wreck it, Flooding rains can can render it unharvestable. We\'ve had both.
