Records go back to 1880.
Climatologists define summer in the Northern Hemisphere as the months of June, July and August.
2014 was a summer sizzler Earth s hottest on record
The below is the type of thermometers used to record temperatures.
So a human reads these temperatures at a discrete differential of 1 degree?
In other words how could people in the 1880s read the above thermometers differentiating 1 degree up or down?
And here is a copy of how the temperatures are recorded...by hand.. and note how there were corrections.
Now consider these handwritten entries are then susceptible to handwriting errors.."is that a '2' or a '3'"?
Consider that there are two opportunities for "MISINTERPRETATION".. reading the actual temperature and then recording and then re-recording... isn't it just a little suspect to make a distinction of "1.28 degree" increase as the records indicate?
