Another area where multiple sets of data for what is the same thing cause
confusion is how temperature is visualised on the BBC weather maps, they
display from one set of data (ie temperature in towns and cities), and then
often speak of temperatures from another set (in the countryside) you aren't
privvy to see.

I am very cynical how statistics are used not to clarify but to confuse, so
if someone complains that you didn't get the temperature right last night it
was far colder.. Argh that's because you were looking at the temperature in
towns and cities!

================================================

It is impossible to put an accurate temperature for every town, village and
farm on a map of the UK. People who live in hill top farms have to use
their gumption and deduce that their temperatures will be lower than those
forecast for nearby low lying towns.
