What about a day where the temperature is 28 at 8am and then cool change, temp falls to 18, rising to 20 during the day. Max = 20.
Oh, FFS, get a grip, any 24 hour period is equal to any other 24 hour period.
We all understand apples for apples L2 but it is inherently biased as you point out above, 2 temps recorded on the same day is not a true reading of the prior day at all or potentially the following day. Tin hatted socialists hey!Not even one day?
You know very well that the daily temperature pattern approximates a sine wave.
It's not intuitive to ignore a peak for potentially 40+ hours, then take two "peaks" a few hours apart.

They therefore provide a much more stable indication of warming trends.
OMG the deniers are lining up to show their intelligence.
No matter where you put the 24 hour period you can get 2 peaks a long way apart and 2 peaks close together, if we measure daily temperatures over a 24 hour period this is inevitable. Since a day is 24 hours it is logical to measure it over a 24 hour period.
Let me outline this in a way even you lot may understand:
In the not too distant future the following occurs:
It is January 15 2021, the BOM announces that it will now alter the way daily temperatures are measured, they will no longer use the traditional meteorological day which was 9am to 9am, they will now measure temperatures from midnight to midnight starting in Feb 2021.
In Melbourne on Feb 3 2021 it is extreme, the temperature reaches a maximum of 46C.
In the late afternoon clouds appear locking the heat in as the wind drops.
At 12.01am the temperature remains 35C.
During the night a light Southerly appears and blows the cloud and some of the heat away, the following day is mild, the temperature drops to around 20 degrees by 8.59am and only rises to 21C by 6pm, dropping to around 19C by 9pm.
BOM Maximum for Feb 4 2021: 35C.
This is immediately seized upon by Roy Spencer. He writes an outraged blog post: the BOM change has led to a 0.5C increase in the average maximum for the month of February for Melbourne, all caused by a change in the definition of a day by the BOM. The blog post appears on WUWT within hours and Breitbart points to a conspiracy to inflate temperature readings by the BOM, emails are rumoured to have been sent and Judith Curry is demanding they be released.

David you need to chill dude, you will have a stress related heart attack way before the smoke takes you out.OMG the deniers are lining up to show their intelligence.

I have read in articles previously that historical records were taken by a sole person and weekends were not necessarily recorded either. 9am until 9am is understandable even for us tin foil hat wearing socialist deniers.Most people would assume the daily ‘high’ would occur somewhere between 7.00am and 8.00pm. A reading taken at 8.45am for the previous day is clearly illogical for the lay person, despite its necessity for scientific continuity.
Are you joining the labelling crew now ToO?Do the deniers here actually care about the environment we live in on this planet at all?
Well apparently more than he did yesterday.Really, what would James Murdoch know.....
James Murdoch breaks ranks over 'climate change denial'
James Murdoch has accused his family's global media empire of promoting climate denialism in a stunning attack on News Corporation's climate coverage.www.theage.com.au

The only way someone can be seen as a friend of the environment is to just accept everything we read and hear from 4 or 5 posters on this site?
Apart from bad mouthing, virtually abusing some, finishing most debates with vitriol and being tne most virtuous posters on this site are they actually following their moral compass and showing due care for the planet let alone some regular posters?
Come on mate, caring about the environment is not really something you can show by choosing to turn up at a protest travelled to in a car or a train and scream abuse at the sides of buildings after spending your day in a high rise office building with the aircon on and the lights glowing.
We dont all live in the bubble ToO.
A bit dehydrated today and bought a bottle of cold water at Flinders Street about 5.pm. I start drinking it on the platform and I fear the the plastic is deteriorating as its grainy and uncomfortable and strange tasting. I then realise I am taking in with my water the particles floating in the air. Once on the train the water tastes OK. Now this begs the question about that grainy crap we are inhaling but not noticing quite how crap it is. Try and stay indoors until this stuff clears a bit.

Too much environmental care made these fires much worse than they needed to be.
The simple facts are that 40 years ago, prescribed burning in Victoria covered 300,000 hectares a year; in the lead up to Black Saturday it was 120,000 and in the past three years it was 65,000 (with much of that in the Mallee where it is of limited use).
There has been a dramatic shift away from prescribed burning despite numerous studies illustrating its benefits. It is only right that those responsible are held accountable.
