The Ruling on the Field Is Overturned. It was not 90F at BHM Today.

THE RULING ON THE FIELD IS OVERTURNED!

We did not indeed establish a new record for the latest 90 degree reading at BHM today. Because it did not hit 90F.

Here’s the explanation from Gerald Satterwhite at the National Weather Service:
The 5-minute data rounded the decimal observation. The online 5-minute source has 32C, though the actual observation was 31.7C. This converts and rounds to 90F and 89F, respectively. So, 89F is correct.
