How hot is it? That's a good question . . .

  1. ok, this is getting ridiculous. http://twitpic.com/6d8j1r
  2. NWS says it hasn't gotten above 105 yet. RT @dsilverman: ok, this is getting ridiculous. t.co/GNaH9dg
  3. @dsilverman Interesting. Official source is ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System) at Bush. I'd be impressive if Yahoo!plugged into that.
  4. @chronsciguy Yahoo weather showing 108 (109 on Y home page) t.co/3TUz02z Can't immediately tell the source.
  5. @dsilverman Interesting. Per NWS (just now) highest temp of the day so far has been 107 at 2:58 p.m. at Bush.
  6. @chronsciguy Comes from Weather Channel, but still no detail on specific Houston location.
  7. @chronsciguy Weather Channel temp for ZIP code associated with IAH: t.co/s6YNOwm 105 degrees.
  8. @dsilverman That's the correct Bush Temp for the hourly records, so the higher readings on your iPhone are coming from another station.
  9. Breaking: Two top Chronicle journalists, @chronsciguy and @dsilverman, launch investigation into source of iPhone temperature readings.
  10. @dsilverman @chronsciguy Looking at source, appears to be pulling from station w/ ID USTX0617. Possibly Med Center per t.co/JmCVAIS
