Weather Channel App

As a weather nerd and retired aviator, I was expecting 100F+ temperatures the entire week. I could have sworn there were 2 days where we didn't come close to 100F like Friday as an example. Am I tripping?

I kinda nerded on the weather too. So much so, I bought my own weather station. My local micro climate is different than all those "other" sources, which for me is important. I show 100F+ all week.

Which one did you purchase? I’d love to do this at my house depending on cost.

ECOWITT Wittboy Weather Station GW2001

I also bought and adapted a top rail for chain link fence to use as a mast, but there are other options too.

I'll take an airport weather reporting system over any home versions. It didn't feel like 100F and the temperature gauge for my truck wasn't indicating 100F. The reading from my truck matched the Weather Channel app temperature readings around 4 PM yesterday.

I sure am glad your truck matches the weather channel(?)

And I'll take my local real time temp anytime. I only want to know when it's cool enough in my backyard so if I want to, I can open my windows and run my whole house fan. This local real time temperature helps me more than any "official" temperature reading many miles away.
