Report: It's Chilly Around Here!
If you've thought the weather's getting cooler in Mytown, folks, you're right. We've studied the average temperatures of Mytown from 1885 to the present, and guess what? It's been cooler since about 1995. For the last 112 years, the average temperature has been from the high 40s to low 50s, but since 1995, it's down in the low- to mid-40s.
It looks like winter has been setting in a couple of weeks earlier than usual, and spring is later in arriving than it has been in the past. You've been getting more wear out of those warm woollies for the last few years, folks.
It's time to put an end to the friendly rivalry between the warm south side and the cool north side. The truth is, there just isn't any difference anymore. Since 1995, the temperatures at opposite sides of town have evened out and they're now the same.
So when you're sitting around shivering, think back to the years between 1955 and 1985. Our records show these 30 years were the warmest since we started recording in 1885. Temperatures were at least eight degrees higher than average. Ah, the good old days!
"The public expects to be entertained," says climatologist David Phillips. "Sometimes you are giving information that could save people's lives, but you have to do it in a way that catches their attention."
