This is utter BS. Mother nature won’t allow an area of concentrated extreme heat. The heat will dissipate long before reaching 170F. This doesn’t pass a sniff test.
Senator Blutarski is right about the concentration of heat but that misses the point. The solution to this is so simple that no one can see it. All they need to do is contact the people who calculate the CPI figures and learn how to change the method of calculating temperature so that the temperature comes out to what you want it to be. Why go off on a wild tangent and complicate things unnecessarily? I am installing a limited range thermometer at my location so that the temp cannot go below forty or above seventy degrees F at any time. I got the idea by studying the latest figures on unemployment.
