Primary evidence consists of items that can be measured directly. If temperature readings are taken in the middle of a city for years and they keep increasing, that is primary evidence that the temperature is increasing in that city. If recent pictures taken of ice in Antarctica, Greenland, and the Himalayas are compared with those taken a century ago, they show the glaciers have decreased in size. That is primary evidence glaciers are shrinking. Any direct measurement is primary evidence.
