Excellent detective work by Tim Daw has revealed the actual location of the Jerzu station, and as I surmised it is poorly sited and maintained.There are three weather stations in and around Jerzu, but the one in question is Jerzu RU, indicated below – note the 48.2C reading on 23rd: https://dati-annuali-rete-arpas-2021-arpas.hub.arcgis.com/apps/dati-meteo-sardegna-ultimi-7-giorni/explore .Google maps place it here:. https://www.google.it/maps/place/08044+Jerzu,+Province+of+Nuoro,+Italy/@39.791339,9.605418,3a,90y,82.45h,103.77t/data=!3m10!1e1!3m8!1s2JtcaKT0KkIIsUFPjNWRQg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2JtcaKT0KkIIsUFPjNWRQg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D336.0467%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i37!4m7!3m6!1s0x12de17b48648e6a3:0xba751000e6892e6f!8m2!3d39.7935755!4d9.5162898!10e5!16zL20vMGdxdnBo?entry=ttu And zooming in: https://earth.google.com/web/search/cardedu/@39.791339,9.60541803,47.85275249a,0d,24.67994737y,84.09144367h,88.19458658t,0r/data=CigiJgokCSOTL50x50NAEdoQWmiS4ENAGcYC1xSwRCNAISbZnpqjNSNAIhoKFjJKdGNhS1QwS2tJSXNVRlBqTldSUWcQAjIpCicKJQohMVpKcHZkWG9EMXdmd0tQMUJvX2ZDQ05FZHY2bHU3ZDZkIAE .As can be seen, the equipment is within a few yards of the road.
