We all need to pay attention to being hydrated in the heat and bundled suficiently in the cold weather. Listening to the weather is essential to one's health in planning events when out and about and when one needs to be indoors.
IMHO - In the northeast, I find weather people sometimes make things sound worse than they are to ensure they get better ratings. That's how they keep their jobs as opposed to accuracy of their weather forecast.
Weather forecast people are the only people that can be wrong everyday and still keep their jobs.
It's all about getting their ratings.
