True this!
The 'weathermen' rarely mention the actual temperature citing the wind chill/heat index instead so whatever sounds worse is specified.
Ditto the colour range depicting weather - in the beginning temps in the hundreds were shown as red, now temps as low as eighties are red and the hundreds are a strange shade of puce.
Some with cold except using blue.
Fear mongering basterds!
My octogenarian father yells about wrapping the pipes when the temperature starts getting down to the forties.
