Their daily forecast actually says “near record high temperatures”.

Where does it end?

My Weather Channel app warns me 5 times a day that it's hot outside. Big thanks to those baws over there. I almost forgot one day but they hit me with a timely reminder.

I mean is it an “act” if it’s true?

ETA:Downvotes can’t handle the fact that it has been one of the hottest summers in SELA in the past 100 years.

It’s tied to how often the OT complains about Nola or BR

I'm not sure why that upsets some of you. I'm really curious.

maybe a silly question here, but what is the record high for your area? Is the forecast for today near that?

I haven't checked any data but it seems like the hottest summer I can recall especially considering damn near zero rain where I'm located.

weather underground used to be great. but the founders sold the firm to the weather channel. you know, the guys that send reporters in blue jackets out near a storm (not that near) and show pictures of water in the streets and about 50mph winds blowing in the trees; all while predicting mass destruction

Around here in Central Alabama, it's been a normal summer
Guess the Feds slipped us some climate change funds

Despite it being really hot I made a forecast recently that said "high temps will sit around average for this time of the year". I like to imaging some bleeding hearts seething over that. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS AVERAGE

This has been the bigger issue this summer, the drought conditions in large portions of the country.

Usually afternoon thunderstorms are common in the summer. Even if it does not rain in your exact location that day, there are storms close enough to generate some cloud cover in the afternoon, thus knocking temperatures down a bit every late afternoon.

Without that this year there is nothing to check temperatures rising throughout the entire daylight period. Thus “near record highs” almost every day.

Weather Underground forecast for today in New Orleans:
quote:

Scattered clouds with the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm developing this afternoon. Near record high temperatures. High around 95F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.


forecast high for today is 95. the record is 100. that doesnt seem like "near record heat" to me. but i guess it's subjective.

So, I guess you'd prefer if the forecast was, "go outside and see for yourself."

Or maybe a forecast that simply says “high temperature of 97 degrees”?
