During our heatwave here in the EU, I’ve noticed that Apple is getting more and more generous in what the temperature is supposed to be. Here it is pictured side by side with the actual, measured temperature via a Kestrel 2000.
I suspect that this is AI being its usual solicitous self, continually making it better for people asking, ‘Is it cooler on the coast?’ It ain’t, by the way, same here as it is in Paris. That’s my theory, but I’m open to all conspiratorial suggestions.
It bothers you because you have no understanding of how temp is measured/calculated by these different platforms.
This is new - in the 70’s the local news station would report local temp, and it would be wildly different from the thermometer on our property, because local conditions can vary that much.
I can feel the difference in temp where I live by walking 30 feet. It can vary 20 degrees in that time because microclimate.
Weather apps are notoriously “wrong” for me - at least 5 degrees F all the time, and sometimes 10.
