It has become the color of popularity when showing weather related maps. Except they used red and orange in the heat maps in Germany back in 2017 also. Check out timestamp 14:48 below. Also, the bottom image from the meme is from June 20, 2022, one day earlier than the clearly photoshopped in date. Sure, one day may not seem like that big of deal but if they can’t even be bothered to be truthful about that, I mean….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean in general, summer is hot right? So Red is what we get. Just like all these air quality maps they throw at us now - did we not have air quality issues years before from wild fires?

Summer is warmer, and yes we generally are probably seeing more detailed info graphics compared to 30, 40 years ago with pollen counts, air quality, etc. They do heat maps in the winter also, here is one from February of 2014: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Colored surface temperature maps have been around as long as I have been following the weather on the Internet. That's what the computer models spit out. However, the media in general dramatizes the weather more than ever. I know that I have mentioned it here before, a Boston area meteorologist that I have known on Twitter for years was let go because he refused to push the hype. He wanted to call it like he saw it the way that he always had done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn is still growing (saw someone setting up a sweet corn stand in Farmington on Sunday), alfalfa still being cut (2 cuts so far in my field and ready for a 3rd), beans look real good - what’s the issue?? Maybe like last year we can do a ton of riding from home! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
