Record Temperature Readings Throughout Los Angeles Caused By ‘Faulty Weather Stations,’ Meteorologist Says

Nearly every record-high temperature reported over the last few days in the Los Angeles area are from weather stations “compromised by heat sources and heat sinks,” according to a veteran meteorologist.

“In my opinion, the data from these stations is worthless,” California-based meteorologist Anthony Watts wrote on his blog Watts Up With That. ...

On the contrary, what Watts claims is that artificial heat sources and sinks produce localized heat around weather stations, adding the few degrees necessary to qualify as records. In general, cities are warmer than surrounding countryside owing to the urban heat island effect.

Certainly, those residences and businesses with a lot of concrete or asphalt parking lots are going to have highertemperatures.

Whenever we have to drive somewhere in Los Angeles, we have always noticed that freeways and highways with broad streets always show a higher temperature, by as much as five to ten degrees F higher than what is being reported on local weather channels.

Interesting ! One never thinks that there could be error of any type in the weather station readings.
How many OTHER mistakes are there in such data in other fields, one begins to question.

So Maria, regardless of exactly where the mercury is on the thermometers, are you having a heat wave in LA now ?
That would explain why Idaho is getting baked so badly in the past few days. Hope you don't have to be outdoors much.

We have had triple digit weather for the past four days. It has been rugged especially with the water restrictions.
Governor "Moonbeam" Brown of California has signed laws telling us that we have to choose between taking a shower, bathing the dog, or washing a load of laundry. We are limited to 55 gallons per day. That means we cannot flush our toilets but twice a day. How can we wash the items we recycle like plastic and glass bottles with these water restrictions? Something has to go.
