News Weather Rant

Okay rant time.

Watching the news I notice that the weather portion has gotten way far out of control.

We have advanced so far in how we detect and monitor weather changes. Yet the  weather guy has become more and more vague.

Phrases like ” but that could change” and “feels like” are being used so often it’s almost as if the person who writes their lines is told to say each one a specific amount of times and then decorate it with a light version of the weather.

Look if I want to know what “it feels like” I would just step outside. When I am out in public and someone says ” My gahhh it feels like” blah blah blah. That number never matches what the weather man says. so where does the weather man get that “feels like” number???? They do it all freaking year long. They do it in the winter to make it sound worse than it is. They do it in the summer to make it sound hotter than it is. They do it in the spring to make it feel nicer than it is.

So where does the weather guy get that stupid fictional number from ? Do they have a thermometer that has a “not really” temperature on it? Why ?

We all know the weather can change any second. It’s the dang weather. Tell me is it hot? is there wind? are there any clouds? What channel of wind is headed my way that could change what is currently over me ?

Just tell the dang weather. Tell the facts about the weather.

I’m just watching the local news to get the local weather. Why is there so much filler in there?

Well. It kinda feels like I was told the weather.
