One reason for this is that «global temperature» varies significantly over the months of the year due to seasonally varying Earth / sun geometry and the greater land mass in the Northern Hemisphere, so that any global average of absolute temperature, not anomalies, will be considerably higher in NH summer than SH summer, and this will be true even in an unchanging climate.

No such complete meta - data are available, so in this analysis the same value for urbanisation uncertainty is used as in the previous analysis [Folland et al., GRL 2001]; that is, a 1 sigma value of 0.0055 deg C / decade, starting in 1900... The same value is used over the whole land surface, and it is one - sided: recent temperatures may be too high due to urbanisation, but they will not be too low.
