I spent a few months recording temperature throughout the day, with a couple of weeks where I forgot. I did that on two separate years; the first time I did it for longer. So, rubbish stats (they were intended for comparing with the Met Office's +1 hour forecast) but at some point I averaged each year and found a temperature increase.

This isn't good evidence for climate change (UNDERSTATEMENT), but the fact that the structure of the data roughly matched the Met Office data suggests that at least that isn't faked.

I don't have the time nor equipment to conduct a rigorous study at the moment. If I felt like it when I had the time, I could purchase the equipment for not very much money, and run an experiment over a few years, but that'd take a while.

I admire your dedication!

I got the data from my primary school's weather meter system, which I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw it. (It was affixed to a wall, which wasn't that great). I doubt I still have the data; I was in primary school at the time. But, the temperature data should've been fairly accurate, even though the wind data was completely trashed by children bashing the spinny cups thing to make it spin.

The primary motivating factor was boredom, not dedication.

Edit: I've got access to raw data from a weather balloon I helped launch (read: hindered the launch of); I could probably dig that up at some point and see if it matched. (Though that data was sent to the Met Office, so that wouldn't be too useful in determining the Met Office's accuracy.)
