Welp, I seem to get higher daytime high readings in downtown Springfield then the Weather Channel forecasted for Springfield, Vermont. O_O
This makes me suspect that The Weather Channel gets the temp reading from miles out of town!
I often get the same current temp readings on my thermometer as Lebanon, New Hampshire on TWC.
But it seems common to get lower-high readings when I pull up "05156" on weather.com!
It's likely 86 F, across from the town hall, lol.
I would still expect the nights to cool down, because I'm not in a tropical climate
(usually at least in this formula= high -> - 21 F) Thus, this would mean if 92 F in the afternoon, the low would be 71 F, if not cooler, which the following is more typical of Vermont: In this example: high: 92 F low: 59 F. -->IIRC, that's called the diurnal variation

Sorry about the title. Just was like O_O.
Also, I noticed that my in my area, I often get static shocks! ;)
I sometimes get shocked just from getting out of a vehicle.
If you don't like static, you will not like Springfield, Vt! :rolleyes:
