Holy color gradient batman
Which colour gradient should we use?
Yes.
Highest recorded temperature on Earth, so far!
But that map clearly says 133
It’s not a 133cast it’s a 4cast
Probably because 133F is the forecast and not actually recorded yet. Weather could change and it might not hit 133F
Though I wouldnt be surprised if we do hit 133F in the west coast, everywhere is scorching at the moment
Damn, you know shit's getting serious when they add green to a temperature color gradient.
Wtf is that scale
Right… the left looks like molten lava.
And 0-30F looks like the hotter part of the scale, there's no telling wether that shade of brown is 10 or 90F
Maybe context due to the surrounding area? Seems a lot more likely to be a 1-10° delta instead of a 80° one
Gotta add new colors for new temps, that green is fucking terrifying imo
If this baked Barstow, would LA be happy or sad?
No one outside those areas cares.
Then those people can shut the fuck up and keep it to themselves.
I say sad. Barstow is how you know you've made it back to California on a long road trip. You stop for gas and a little break, then get back on the 10 and stay on it until you burst out of the McClure Tunnel onto PCH.

84° in SFBA is pretty scary. No one has AC there.
When there's some new standard for the best way to measure true temperature in fifty years, all of the current figures will be in question. We're already adjusting old data. Why not compare raw data publicly too?
lava?
How do you know its not just 3 degrees F?
Amazing to see 64 and 133 in the same state
California is really massive. On a more fun note, some friends did the snowboard in the morning, surf in the evening trips. It's not an unusual sight to see a snowboard and surfboard mounted next to each other on a car.
