    Doesn't the upper Midwest have the widest temperature variance from season to season too? Like the difference in temps between January and July.


    Or is that just something I heard once that is bullshit but sticks in my head as 100% fact?

    South Florida is the longest because doing the forecast there for half the year is:

    Mostly/partly cloudy and humid
    High: 87-89
    Chance of afternoon thunderstorms


    And it is never wrong

    Southern Arizona can be predicted 6 months ahead, not 6 days.

    Depends on where I live. The temperature is usually pretty accurate. In the winter it can vary because you can't predict the exact time a front will come through.

    Their ability to predict rain in the summer isn't great.

    Wouldn’t doubt it. If I were to guess which state had the widest variance I would guess Nebraska or Iowa

    What is accurate? Exactly correct? 1, 2, 3 degrees off? I care way more about precipitation anyways.

    Probably amount and predictability of precip. is a big part of temperature variations from forecast.

    If you're going to label American, Australian and Gaelic Football, Football (soccer) should have been labeled Association Football.

    yeah obviously the existance of vichy france has certain implications...and I only learned of this of this incident yday.

    It's one thing to sabatoge/scuttle etc ships that could be commandeered...It's another thing to kill 1,300 french soldiers.

    I read a bit and the context and it makes sense. But to this day the french harbor resentment about it (naturally). Seems like it could have been done in a better way, but it is what it is.
