Today, these studies are done with high- resolution(≤2km) satellites that measure surface temperature globally. The comparison is usually the average of all measured surface temperatures across the globe. So they"re referring to the average surface temperature of the Earth, not your backyard.

So as you go back to 1880 surface temperature was measured at observation stations by hand.

There is uncertainty there that must be accounted for.
