It's always been the way of 'official' temperatures. The data recorded by the Met Office for records, etc has to be manually read on standard mercury max/min and wet/dry thermometers (someone correct me if this is no longer the case). This obviously requires people to get out there at regular intervals, which is fine for Heathrow and Kew and Wisley, etc, but not for all locations.
We all like to think our own garden instruments are providing accurate readings but without any scientific or repeatable verification you can never be sure. And if they are not in a decent shaded spot, preferably in a screen preventing wind anomolies, then it's just for fun . . .?
