Where do we find, records back to the 1800's?
Average Weather In April For Los Angeles, California, USA - WeatherSpark
This report describes the typical weather at the La Civic Center (Los Angeles, California, United States) weather station over the course of an average April. It is based on the historical records from 1999 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
What type of thermometer was being used in the 1800's? Did it measure temps to tenth of a degree, a hundredth? Did they have them all calibrated and placed all over the world? LOL Fail

Before 1999, the records are unavailable or unreliable.
Which is confirmed by this quote from NOAA, that states they made up the temperatures, based on "science".

adjusting the data for inhomogeneities using an approach that did not rely on sparse station history information
I could spend hours working on this question, there was the weather bureau, placing instruments on tall buildings? The Smithsonian sent instruments out to Telegraph stations before the Weather Bureau? Should be a thermometer in the Smithsonian I would presume. Newspapers published temperatures. So, the question is how much of a difference does it make, as the city grows which affects the temperature, obviously the original Weather Bureau locations have changed, which can make a dramatic difference.

I see you avoided answering the questions on thermometers, placement, etc. If you want to believe in this nonsense go ahead but anyone with a lick of sense sees it for what it is, a wealth redistribution gimmik
