 ... or weber grills?
"Consider the below exemplar of those wonders of science and
technology in the field of obtaining surface temperature measurements, from
Hopkinsville, KY, where the instrument: a) abuts a brick house: b)
actually, it abuts the chimney of a brick house; c) hovers just above a
black asphalt pad, and; d) what's that directly underneath it, but a Weber
grill!"


"Here, the weather station was placed 2 feet off of a building, but
conveniently next to a large air conditioning unit. Any thoughts on the
localized ambient temperature when that baby kicks on?"
