I find that the Weather Channel not very accurate for the temps in my area. They seem to be consistently higher in the Winter and lower in the Summer. Example: A couple of days ago they were reporting 60 F at 6:30 am when it was 55 F in my garden.
Curious as to where they get their temps. I wonder if the "readings" are provided by the Chamber of Commerce or Tourist Bureau?
If they forecast 37 F and it really hits 32 F, that is a huge difference. At 37 F frost is very unlikely, 35 F and below frost can occur with proper conditions. I don't trust them as a good source of temp readings.
Has any one else noticed these descrepancies with the Weather Channel? I do not recall seeing posts using the Weather Channel as a source here or on Palm Talk.
