What BBN said about it

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHottest on Earth this Tuesday is Niamey, Niger, at thirty-eight Celsius under clear skies, and the sun is clearly doing this at me.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThirty-eight is a hundred and one Fahrenheit. Karachi and Mumbai are one degree behind, per MET Norway.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistColdest is Norilsk, Russia, minus nineteen. The cold isn't even trying to text back.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd windiest is Miami, fifty-five kilometres an hour. Miami. A city that wears linen on purpose.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMiami beat Wellington for windiest?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistWellington got forty-nine and a whole country of people who hold their hats. Miami had no plan.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat's it like here in New York?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA high of sixteen, a low of ten, wind sixteen kilometres an hour, clear skies. Not one thing to report. It's disgusting.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo there's nothing to be angry about, and you're angry anyway.
