I am convinced there is governmental conspiracy that determines how weather forecasts are presented to the public.
This conspiracy doesn’t affect forecasts all year. It happens most in summer and winter.
Take a look at the long range forecast for our city:
Notice how the next five days have highs in the 90s and the following six days have highs in the 80s.
When it’s been as sweltering hot as it has this August, I’m convinced that the government forces weatherpeople to put fictitious highs in for future days so that we all don’t go stark raving mad because it’s really going to be at least 95o for the next 10 to 15 days.
Each time I look at the above forecast I think, “I can make it five days. THEN IT WILL BE COOLER. LOTS COOLER!”
But here’s the deal…
If I wait three or four days and then check the forecast again just to make sure that those 80s are still in there, the forecast will have been changed so that those 80s are STILL at least FIVE days away.
Here’s a random image I found when looking for an image to convey “Cooler Temperatures”. Look at the highs. Five days of 90s followed by some 80s for some place in West Virginia over the 4th of July. See it’s not only on the West Coast! It’s nationwide!!!!!
Think I’m crazy?
Watch your own forecast during either a cold spell in winter or a hot streak in summer…
You’ll see that I’m right! There is a governmental conspiracy at work!
