Nosenuffink yet again demonstrates that he is just a dumb out of work builder. Neither of those are south east

Not an out of work builder, he is a handyman. Just not that handy.

Nice try at debunking -- but WRONG
The arrow indicates where it is located- about 20m from the runway, transition area tarmac and concrete then a building and two other even closer concrete areas. A wider view will show even more concrete staging / apron areas.
Now consider this ---
World Meteorological Organisation rules state that Class 1 sites must be at least 100m away from concrete surfaces, and even the lower class 2 sites must be 30m away,which rules out Coningsby. It only qualifies as a Class 3 site, which the World Meteorological Organisation say may overstate temperatures by 1C.

People are being gas lit by what the news does not tell you.
The hottest recorded temp in the UK -- what does it say -- Coningsby- right, but what they fail to mention is exactly where in Coningsby.
Its RAF Coningsby home to two frontline, combat-ready squadrons and is the training station for Typhoon pilots. Not saying its heat from engines before the debunkers start, but the acres of tarmac and concrete absorbing heat causing temperatures to build up, heat islands.

Exactly.
With a SE wind of only a few mph that weather station will register the heat emanating from the large tarmac runway, and artificially push the measurement up a couple of °C, which isn't mentioned by the media.

Technically Heathrow and the surrounding area are (weather) influenced by the continent because it is located geographically in the south east - closer to mainland Europe than the rest of the UK.

The EU is the problem then?

I've been thinking about this myself. Which heat transfer mechanisms would be in play here.

In what way?

The south eastern corner of the UK has always benefitted from warmer average temp's.

It wasn't a problem then though.
Now it is.

What have you come up with?
I'd reckon a gentle waft of air over a hot surface should do it.

I got stuck on whether it was conduction or convection. And how far the heat would travel before the effect becomes negligible.

Me too.

As regards radiant heat:

I can see with a building which is parallel to the weather station that it would emit heat by radiation in the direction of the weather station. But with a runway, I think most of that radiation would go straight up.

Or maybe it depends on the breeze wafting across the hot tarmac and concrete.
One thing -- how is the temp at these stations is recorded, is it the peak from the whole day. So it would record the exact time of the peak.

Not with radiation. That would be like a breeze wafting a beam of light. But the other process would be either conduction or convection and that would be affected by a breeze.

I assume it is continuously monitored so the peak is the peak.

Although the Met Office take hourly readings for their public website.
