Are you absolutely sure you want to argue against daily rotation as

.If you decide that you went too far then accept
that 1461 rotations will cause 1461 daily temperature fluctuations or
what amounts to the same thing 4 years/4 circuits of the Earth.

If this isn't troubling, I don't know what is.

I just realised why I was given the awful ability to stick with
imponderable riddles until they do me in. It's so I can keep reading
posts like yours until I understand the frame of mind behind them.

You are Dawlish.

I can tell because:

1. He hasn't nursed this thread.
2. You have.
3. You don't read the OP or subsequent reasoning.
4. You failed to realise the thread is about the the fact that
occasionally, the temperatures go up at night.

Let me rephrase that last one:

The Most Learned Mr Martin Rowley ExFAQ Officer Extraordinairre
couldn't think of a term for the phenomenon whereby the temperatures
increase at night.

The paradigm being that motile air masses can bring with them
increases in temperature but that at ground level and as far as the
eye can see at night, this is in the case discussed, not the case.

Occasionally, when there is a suitable earthquake in the offing and
electronic equipment is spiking, old salts like the OP notice things
like that.

It's called observation. You aught to try it some time.
