Did they change the way they record it, like they did down here?
Here, the temperature peak had to hold for a set amount of time before it was recorded. Now, it's recorded instantly, even if it's only at that temperature for a few seconds.
Also, low temps aren't being recorded properly. It was discovered that the equipment used to record the temperatures has limits that are exceeded by actual temperatures, so they were just "guesstimated". Their excuse was that "it couldn't possibly get that cold anyway".
People started sending in their pictures of creeks and dams frozen solid, ice and snow....... only to hear crickets chirping.
