Red herring.

That doesn't matter.

Dynos can be corrected for ambient atmospheric conditions.  If a dyno is
run properly, unless the temperature is extremely hot or cold, or extremely
humid, it shouldn't make a difference.  More often than not, big
discrepancies in dyno numbers are due to either dyno operator error or
downright manipulation by the operator.
