What BBN said about it

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNumber one hottest this Sunday is Doha, Qatar, forty-one degrees Celsius, with clear skies. Not one cloud. It's mocking me.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA hundred and six Fahrenheit, for those keeping score at home.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistColdest is Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, minus ten overnight, and it's cloudy. It's ghosting me, Hank. It's the capital of Mongolia and it won't even pick up.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMinus ten is thirteen Fahrenheit. You can have that one for free.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd windiest is Reykjavik, Iceland, sixty-six kilometres an hour. That's per MET Norway. The capital's having quite the tantrum.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorForty-one miles an hour. You own eleven of them.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistEleven! And I just told the yellow one it was going to be a quiet week.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFine. What's it like here in New York?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA high of fourteen, a low of four, winds up to twenty-one, and clear skies. Nothing happens. Nothing! I've never been so insulted.
