> That's a 3C increase! Not if you don't compare apples and oranges, these high temperature data come ONLY from 2 NEW automated stations with no previous data to compare, other stations used for years didn't report such crazy temperaturs, so you should take these new data with grain of salt. You should be comparing stations in same location with comparable data from previous years.
