For me, one of the red-pill moments of the last few years was the realisation that Piers Corbyn might be right, whereas I used to think he was a loony leftie.
And the UHI question, which I realise isn't in this study, I keep meaning to test it in summer, so yesterday evening we fetched a takeaway and guess what, we're 3° cooler at our farm, which we've known to be so in winter for a few years.
I look forward to the UHI analysis. It seems such a large and obvious question. The mainstream seems to believe the 'science is settled' on this and that because we use 'temp anomalies', UHI has only a small effect. So presumably, a small increase in radiative forcing would ths increase the temp in central London by the same amount as somewhere both remote and undeveloped.
It won't be that thorough on account of only 34 stations with none in a truly rural setting but at least it'll be a start! UHI is always underplayed but studies show it can give rise to substantial differentials. Here's some bedtime reading...
Please could you advise whether the HadCET data you used are raw or corrected?
Although homogenisation may have its detractors, things like attempting to remove any time of day bias (if that applies in England) and differences in thermometer type seems reasonab;e.

Make that two of us.
I'm only surprised it came as high as 24th !
Too right!

Cool! (See what I did there?) I've a mini-UHIE study lined-up at some point using 34 UK weather stations.
Astwood Bank isn't even that large
