Weather is not climate, when it's cold, of course.

Just 2 years ago, Antarctica suffered its coldest 6-month period ever recorded.

CNN: "It is important to understand weather is different from climate. Weather is what happens over shorter periods of time (days to months), such as the seven-day forecast. Climate is what happens over much longer periods of time, such as several years, or even entire generations."

Of course, CNN is right, but the outlet seems to have lost sight of that fact in their reporting recently.

It's been pretty chilly here for summer. Normally, we're having 90+ every day, but it's barely reached the mid-80s for most of the time.

It's slightly lower than normal here as well, for the end of July. But that doesn't fit the narrative.

Translation: Weather isn't climate, except when we say so...
