NASA & NOAA both say this past APRIL was the warmest ever. That may be, BUT what they don't tell you is they are not comparing apples to apples. Back in the 70s there were over 6,000 world wide surface temperature sites. Now there are less than 2,000. Where do you think most of those eliminated sites are? Rural or urban? It makes a difference. NOAA/NASA says it has computer programs that compensate (fudge) for missing data. Ah-ha, yea I believe my government for accuracy! Don't you ?
More heavy T-Storms bubbled up during daytime heating. Get use to it. Once we get to around 90, that's enough heat to create the lift needed to form the clouds that sometimes develop into big T-Storms. Later this week an upper ridge will build over us decreasing our rain chances for Fr-day thru Sunday. Without rain to cool us, expect highs to top 90.

This article cites three studies that independently conclude that the dropped stations show the same warming trend as those retained by the GHCN.
If you have specific complaints as to the quality of the GHCN data it would be useful if you documented your research and methodology (as the three linked studies do.)
rcs...since your articles criticize my source, here's his reply...
As for the Tamino paper. It is garbage. We identified 8 issues with the data and updated the paper to show how each including dropout led to warming (in the case of dropout regional).

Well doesn't the NWS have far fewer offices and radars than they did in the 70's because newer more powerful radars? Every state has a weather service with many observation sites. Just like Lousiana for example, you got Slidell, Shreveport, Lake Charles of which all have many sites. So whats the difference if there are less sites than 70's? If it was recorded to be 90 in at Slidell airport I doubt you would have found Baton Rouge to have had a high of 80 etc..
