Chester County PA - Analytical Battle of Actual vs. Altered Climate Data

Below is how much faster the warming is just since 1960 at our local PHL Airport with their growing UHI problem. That warming slope is a wee bit different just around 25 to 35 miles west of the concrete and river warm oasis that is PHL Airport!

Reposting some of the charts I posted previously. Your line doesn't look anything like the raw data from individual stations. There is no significant difference in warming between individual Chester County stations and the Philadelphia Airport. Of course cooling station moves should be excluded. That's why the West Chester plot ends in 1969.

Per the table below, there are big changes in the Chester County station population that you aren't accounting for. In comparison, the Philadelphia airport heat island is mature and isn't changing much from decade to decade. If heat island is important, why ignore the movement of Chester County stations out of towns after World War II?

Try consolidating your data you will find the story matches my above analytics.

Many climate alarmist like to point to the Time of Observation Bias (TOB) as solid "scientific adjustments" required to correct that bias. NOAA/NCEI in fact chose to chill every year at Coatesville from 1895 thru 1982. However, if anything when we look at the facts of when these observations were taken (see the below of COOP observation time/years) we see that with the exception of 11 years.... temperatures were in reality recorded in the morning. So if their rationale is correct the bias for Coatesville should in fact be too cool with all of those AM minimum temperature reports. Yet they chose to not warm those years - they actually made additional chilling adjustments.
