Historically common places to take weather readings were airports. Still the same today. But the airports now have massive asphalt runways and taxiways etc. And the oil burning jet engines operate en masse 24/7/365.
So of course the temperature rises at the airport.

It's more than common for thermometers to be mounted above Air Conditioning units, on poles in the middle of asphalt parking lots, etc. They do this to skew the readings.
Not just in the USA but around the world in the ocean.
They also make up "fudge" the numbers. There's thermometers that go bad and don't report anything so instead of not reporting those and saying they were faulty they put in whatever number they want. The numbers are created to give the appearance of a rise in temperature. If I remember correctly these were Mike's 'magic numbers' talked about in the leaked emails many years ago.
Yea, there was a post a while back about all the US reading stations being purposely placed at airports (massive heat sinks for a start - because of the tonnes of asphalt etc) and have been placed in such a way as to be directly affected day in day out by the hot aircraft exhausts as they land and take off.

Depends on who's measuring tape you use.
