Here is some temperature data, some of the series goes back to 1796.

climate.arm.ac.uk

arm.ac.uk

Somehow data produced that says "only USA data is good" and is adjusted socio economical politico base stuff just isn't as good imo.

Measuring average temperature accurately is a challenge but not one that needs millions of dollars to do properly.

One little data bit..

star.arm.ac.uk

5. Conclusions
The data derived from the experimental work carried out in 1996 exhibits a mean difference in daily maximum temperatures of 0.11oC and 0.41oC in daily minimum temperatures between the site of the Observatory weather station and three similarly sited rural weather stations. However, recent research into the historical temperature records and comparisons with present day data from rural weather stations indicate that any temperature differences which existed between the Observatory site and the countryside 20-30 years ago have not increased over the intervening years. This is contrary to the situation which would be expected if urban development were to influence air temperatures at the Observatory, since much of the growth of Armagh has taken place since the 1960s and still continues.
In addition, the fact that there has been no urban encroachment into the Observatory grounds and that the grounds have not been separated from the adjacent farmland by any development suggests that the Observatory weather station lies outside the urban climatic boundary.

It is concluded that temperature observations made at Armagh Observatory have been unaffected by rapid urbanisation over the past three decades.

Lots of other interesting stuff to read too.
