What BBN said about it

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNumber one hottest is Doha, Qatar, thirty-nine Celsius, clear skies. Not one cloud. It's doing it on purpose, Hank.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a high of thirty-nine in Doha. That's a hundred and two Fahrenheit.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTimbuktu is also thirty-nine, and it had the cheek to be partly cloudy. Partly! It's rubbing it in.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorColdest?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistUlaanbaatar, Mongolia, minus ten Celsius, fifteen Fahrenheit. The cold won't even pick up when I call.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd the windiest is Tromsø, Norway, up to fifty-eight kilometres an hour, per MET Norway. It also has forty-two millimetres of rain coming.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistEverything's happening to Tromsø.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou sound jealous of a city in Troms county.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI just want one storm that's mine. So what's New York doing? Seventeen high, six low, clear, eleven kilometres an hour wind.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat sounds pleasant, Brock. That sounds like a nice Monday.
