What a rude man. From the school of thought that if you interrupt enough and speak loudly enough you must be right.

This absolutely not true. The temperature being reported is AIR temperature above ground (over 1 metre+), not the GROUND temperature. Ground temperature will have been even higher in many of those locations, well in excess of 50°.
