Check Yahoo Weather against the actual weather at your location, and see if you notice a consistent difference.
The other alternative is that I really am crazy, which is a possibility I cannot dismiss out-of-hand.
Occam’s shaving kit.
YAHOO is on board with Al Gore.
But hey, it’s FREE! Right?
All weather is local.
Our microclimate is always hotter than reported.
What is “gaslighting”?
Get the weather underground app. Much better than others.
I blame ‘Globull’ warming.
I shoulda done this in haiku, but lunch is almost ready...
A few years ago, I’d have told you to take off the tin foil hat. But it turns out the tin foil hat wearing kooks were right about government monitoring, secret government scandals, intentional undermining of our Republic and covert missions to help our enemies.
So now I sell tell foil hats. Do you need one?
In my case, it's not necessarily an either/or question.
Yahoo Weather must have an Al Gore Global Warming believer running it.
Remember the “official” temp for your region generally comes from one thermometer, near one building, that’s monitored by somebody. Back in the day your TV weather guy probably even said it (”it’s 85 degree right at the airport”). So subsequently your mileage may vary.
It all depends on the location of the thermometer the local station is using and several degrees difference around town is normal.
Around here, depending on the site I’m checking on my phone or the computer, the local station reporting can be a local, small airport, or a middle school with a data gathering station.
No conspiracy.
I like Intellicast.
I use it on my phone.
The Weather Channel here only takes the temperature from one place in each county so, of course, the temperature is going to vary. I would bet yahoo is getting their data from the exact same location. If the location is in a large city, then the temperature will be hotter than out in the suburbs or the rural area.
It depends which weather station your app is accessing. The only one I can access through my app is about ten miles away. I use weather apps for forecasts not to compare to the thermometer in my yard...
Yahoo has the current temperature in my area posted as 2 degrees warmer than other sources...what caught my attention were the little ‘windmill’ icons representing current wind and pressure...no agenda there. No sir.
‘...the termometer...’
Well, there’s your problem, right there! I can recalibrate that for you, and add an ‘h’ for $90.00. ;)
I rely on my own indoor/outdoor set up, versus even my LOCAL weather peeps.
I haven’t noticed my iPhone reporting consistently higher temperatures than the actual temperature, but i have noticed reported temps are consistently lower up until a few hours before sunset, and consistently higher until a few hours before sunrise. In other words, it’s not the most up-to-date weather reporting service around and seems to lag by a couple of hours. Or at least that’s what I’ve been chalking the discrepancy up to.
