I'm not trying to start anything with this. I also want to point out, just as in the past, I am not saying these temps are Normal. Nor, am I saying, or implying, that it isn't hot.

That said, I'd like for you to consider something.

Below are two locations taken from Google maps.






Both are coordinates for weather stations used by NOAA/NWS. The first is at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport. The second is the weather station at the Ben Hur Central Research Station.

For the first location the past four days high temperatures were as follows:
101°, 101°, 102°, 104°

For the second location the past four days high temperatures were as follows:
96°, 98°, 100°, 97°

The first location averaged a 102° high temperature for the four days of July 29, 30, 31 and August 1.

The second location averaged 97.75° (we will call it 98°) over those same four days.

The two locations are separated by ~14 miles. You can get technical and say that the second location isn't within the city limits of Baton Rouge, and you'd be right. You'd also be ignoring a major point the two images, alone, make.

Just some food for thought, presented for you to consider.
