it's raining hot death in Minnesota

Turns out it was just a glitch with my weather app. It's only 109°

Water boils at 100°, your app is glitching hard.
- It's Minnesota in the US, so pretty sure it's in Fahrenheit. Though it should be like, 40° F there (4.4° C)
  
  Looks like it might have thought 40°F was 40°C, and converted it again to F then
  
  I just checked as well and was confused.
  
  My colleagues live in that state and was about to reach out.
- We use Fahrenheit here. But it's a moist heat
- Not in freedom units! Here in the land of the free! water boils at 212°
Mine had the same glitch this morning, but mine said it was a high of 176°F, but that seems on par for Texas.
Yes, but it only feels 117. A brisk wind.
- The feels like temp at these temps should be above the actual temp as soon as there's a brisk wind tbh.
Oof. Is that rain at 10? What's the humidity like?
- Eleventy-billion percent humidity
  
  Damn, remind me again why you live in Minnesota?
- Lots of rain. Should be snow 😢
- Like Houston in August I suspect
Sorry to hijack this post but if anyone needs a great weather app for Android, I highly recommend you check out Breezy. It's on f-droid.
- I thought I tried every weather app on F droid, but never saw Breezy. Extremely impressed with it, easily the best on F-droid, and better than 99% of apps on the playstore.
  
  I think the Weawow app (closed source and playstore/aurora only)still edges it out, but only slightly. Heavily considering switching to Breezy.
  
  Thanks for the recommendation!
  
  Glad you like it! Breezy was the first one I actually liked from f-droid.

What weather app is that?
- Default Samsung weather app, powered by weather channel.
  
  Interesting, thanks!
- Whatever the stock one is for Galaxy phones lol. It's properly "Minnesota-d" now
I had a similar thing today. My app (looks just like this one) told me it was currently 138 degrees out. I thought I might need to stay inside today.
- My wife texted me earlier saying it was a good thing I was out of town. Hers said it was currently 118° with a high of 124°. It barely got into the 60s today.
