In this US it is almost universal that a cities official temperature data comes from the airport. The Detroit weather is recorded at Metro (in Romulus) and at Detroit City Airport with the TV meteorologists usually reporting both temps.

Growing up, Ann Arbor still had a local NBC affiliate and their temps came from Willow Run Airport in the Ypsi/Belleville area.

My local radio station, in my more or less semi rural County, gets their temps from the County Airport.

The entire narrative they feed the public is based off this manipulative gaslighting of temp extremes.

Then you get the "feels like" temp that is usually the main temp reported. Such utter hogwash.
