Today Marks the Latest 90 Degree Reading Ever At Birmingham NOT (See Above)
BREAKING NEWS – THAT LAST POST IS UNDER FURTHER REVIEW!
The previous change in the records is under further review as of 5:08 pm. The NWS has put the official high at 89F (based on the hourly data, I suppose.) The 5 min data from the Airport did show 90F on the observation page.
I have thrown the red flag. Stand by for more details!
