So there are 2 options you made a mistake or ABC made a mistake. You seem to be saying there are some sort of nefarious 'goings on' with this reporting. It appears to me that you have made the mistake and there is no conspiracy to hide 'The Truth'.
swansont Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 “Recorded” is not the same thing as “measured” The image caption on the right says they use a max/min thermometer. It measures the high and low over some time period. It does not mean either one occurred at 9 AM. It means that’s when the numbers were recorded. This implies for a 9 AM recording, the high is for the previous day, just as your link says (Minimum temperature is recorded against the day of observation, and the maximum temperature against the previous day) https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100141761
Peterkin Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Is that one single temperature the tipping point of climate change?

It appears to me that you have made the mistake and there is no conspiracy to hide 'The Truth'. There is one maximum temperature for a day, between midnight and the next midnight, if you look at the half hourly temperature records, as the ABC did, and the official maximum temperature which is measured between 9am on one day and 9am on the next day. 15 hours ago, swansont said: “Recorded” is not the same thing as “measured” The image caption on the right says they use a max/min thermometer.

Peterkin Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Seems you have a quibble with one report of one reading of one temperature on one day in one place. So.... How does this change/affect/determine climate change ? Edited September 2, 2021 by Peterkin 1

This increased the lowest monthly maximum temperature for 2 consecutive months in one location and the same anomaly can occur in over 800 other places in Australia.

I highlighted the information from your link, where they explained how they did the max and min temperature measurements and recordings. None of this, AFAICT, contradicts that. Pasting a couple of links doesn't clarify anything about your claims.

How? I don't believe it affected the actual temperature anywhere.

Please note that the details below are from the monthly summary where the official maximum for the day and the 9am temperature for the next day are both above the 9am and 3pm temps for the day. This was the only way I could identify this anomaly as the complete records of the temperatures recorded every 30mins for Sydney (or all the other 870 BOM weather stations in Australia) are not publicly available after a couple of days. Sydney Australia 2021 Day max day 9am 3pm Next 9am July Fri 09 12.5 09.9 12.0 12.5 August Tue 24 11.5 09.3 09.7 11.5 All one can validly infer from this is that the max did not occur at 9AM or 3PM

Peterkin Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Just now, LaurieAG said: Both examples show that the official max was the same temperature as that recorded at 9am on the next day. How is that important to understanding climate change? 2 minutes ago, LaurieAG said: It increased the official maximum temperature recorded. The record, not the actual temperature. One erroneous (?) record of one measurement of one temperature (off by how much exactly?) in one place on one day is hardly the tipping point of the entire global system!

I mean, so what? Are you saying That one day can't possibly be much warmer than the next, such that the max for one day is reached at 9AM the next day? The days of 24-25 August were quite cool compared to the rest of the month, but the 25th was warmer than the 24th. You found only two examples of this in a six week span. I don't see what the mystery is.
