Did No One Check the Temps?

Weather segments are usually among the most reliable parts of a newscast, but this broadcast turned into something out of a sci-fi movie. With temperatures showing figures like 2960°F in Cave Creek and 1655°F in Fountain Hills, it’s hard not to laugh and wonder how these numbers ever made it to air. That kind of heat wouldn’t just fry an egg—it’d melt the Earth.

What makes it even funnier is the calm demeanor of the weatherman, as if nothing is amiss. The on-screen temperatures look more like measurements from the surface of the sun than a daily forecast. Whether it was a software glitch or someone falling asleep at the keyboard, this broadcast went from informative to unintentionally hilarious in a matter of seconds. It’s a perfect reminder that even live TV can have some wildly hot takes—literally.
