 Yes, also natural urbanization over time. 

A measuring station that used to be on the outskirts after decades of growth is well within the concrete/asphalt "heat island".

 Precisely. Those measuring stations are usually not too inconveniently far from urban areas, airports being a logical place, which are not only not immune to development but actually invite it.
