You'd think that at a minimum every city in the UK should have a weather station, and every town above a certain size (perhaps with a proviso that it's not needed if there is another station within X miles).
However if they started adding lots of urban weather stations, the records would be massively skewed by UHI effects, and you'd never hear the end of it.
(And talking of UHI, Kew Gardens has just updated with a 32.4 at 9am!)
