No I don't agree. below are the current county stations that I have data for, the non-DEOS stations. Spring City is cooler than any of these corrent stations, consistent with its location in the far northern part of the county. Unlike your results, NOAA is cooler than the average of the current stations that I have. Shows how changing the station population changes the simple average. The non-NOAA DEOS stations cool the present on balance without adding any climate information due to their short period of operation.

Results from your simple averaging method merely reflect the changing station population: relatively warm in the past and relatively cool now.  You've obtained the "climate change isn't happening" result you are looking for. As I have said in the past you will be the last person to realize that Chester County is warming.

 

Below is the average of all other stations and of course both the alterned NCEI averages and the Phoenixville/Spring City combo are higher than the all other station averages every year with the exception of 2023. In fact in 2024 the Phoenxiville/Spring City combo was higher than every other reporting stations average temperature.

I only drop into this forum to read and learn a bit about others data and opinions on Climate Change.  I know I've asked before (and folks have migrated over there at the time of asking..) - and don't mean to be "crank"...but could you two or three folks engaged in the running "Chester County data bickering"   PLEASE remember that a thread was created for that purpose- and take the tit-for-tat dicsussion and parsing over there.  The squabbling of that subject, in this forum is in the wrong place again.   I'm hoping for continuity to keep the thread interesting as a read and with some modicum of alignment with its title.  Obliged.
