I think you will find that when the highest temperature for this year is entered into the records that count, for example here:

or the monthly summaries by Philip Eden maintained by the Royal Meteorological Society and the Met Office, I think you will find that the reading is not the one that is recorded. That's all that counts from my point of view.
And when people come to look back on this year in 10, 20 or 30 years that's all that will count for them too.
Yes, but official temps are the ones that one down in history and the ones that count for real comparative purposes of one year versus another.
As soon as you start accepting non-standard observations, you are not comparing like with like and you are also on the slippery slope to accepting anything at all. Why not take a temperature inside a greenhouse, that's as real world as anything else?
