simple simple simple question...
It's not just statistics I find useless, just generally public information. Here in Melbourne we had a heatwave, (above 40c for 3 days or so), and the temperature(s) was/were taken in the shade by the weather bureau, so it was hotter in the sun. I don't know 'bout the rest of the world but here everytime someone tells you a temperature, the response is generally, "Bullshit mate, feels hotter than that!", well it probably is. The reason it's taken in the shade, I'm assuming here btw, is that while the mercury indicates the temperature, it's encased, or at least built including, glass and metal. Two things that absorb and radiate heat much hotter than air temperature. For proof touch a roller door in the sun!!!!
How can the temperature then ever really be accurate??
