"90 F with 90% humidity". It's pretty much never both 90 F and 90% humidity at the same time anywhere east of the Rockies in the US. It can be 90% humidity in the morning and 90 F later in the day, but never both of those at the same time.

When oversensitive fuckwits from down here claim it was "cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon in one day" because we had a low of like 65 F and a high of like 83 F. Hardly some massive diurnal or temp change in general.

When people talk about California's climate having more microclimates than elsewhere, by citing only summer temp differences.
If you look at the variation of temperatures, at any other time of year, between the coast and inland, the difference will be no greater than for most other locations outside CA separated by the same distance (including Florida).
The only reason this stereotype exists is because of how many people live in CA, which leads to climate falsehoods being propagated more easily amongst the general public.

Adding to that, I also hate it when people say nonsense like "coastal California has the coolest summers on Earth for its latitude!!!"…when really it's just localised sea-fog keeping a lid on temps (otherwise it'd have hot summers). Unlike the proper raw summer cold which characterises Western Victoria (Australia) for example; retains cool summers even in the far inland regions. |

This one only really happens in climate battles, but saying you only need to drive a couple of hours to get really hot weather (usually involving coastal CA climates). A couple of hours drive away is no longer the climate taking part in the battle, so is meaningless.

"Elevation increases diurnal range" and "elevated climates are more continental" also piss me off.
It's the exact opposite FFS, and by a long shot.

Not sure if you saw, but we had a shoutbox discussion about this exact topic earlier today. Some people claim high elevation climates are more "continental" because they get cooler winters, but their seasonal temp range is even smaller than their lowland counterparts! Ridiculous |

Ridiculous They probably mean the Köppenite definition of "continental". |

The only reason this stereotype exists is because of how many people live in CA, which leads to climate falsehoods being propagated more easily amongst the general public. That's not really true. SoCal and NorCal have quite significant microclimates not really seen in the Eastern US in the summer because of the cold current etc. For just a general example, look at Santa Monica Pier vs. Pasadena in summer - only 40m between them and more than 10c difference in highs in summer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Monica,_California#Climate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasadena,_California#Climate For an even more extreme and infamous example you of course have Eureka and Willow Creek 47m from each other en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow_Creek,_California#Climate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka,_California#Climate Now let's look at somewhere in the Eastern US, say South Carolina. The difference between Columbia and Charleston is hardly anything and that's even with 114 miles between them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston,_South_Carolina#Climate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia,_South_Carolina#Climate Yes states outside of California, principally the Eastern US, don't lack microclimates but they don't compete with SoCal in summer when looking at averages. Yes you can find a locale on the Great Lakes having a high 30f less than some miles inland but that's not an average. edit: misread you specifying non-summer temps |

A couple of hours drive away is no longer the climate taking part in the battle, so is meaningless. Joe90 was a notorious offender on this front with his citrus/ski zone. Something like "I can grow citrus in _____ and ski two hours drive away in _____" neglects the fact that those two places are in completely different climate zones. |

"It's XX°F in the shade but XXX°F in the sun!"
It's true that you feel warmer in the sun, but how else are you going to measure temperature data ffs?

Shocked no one said this one sooner.
90% of what City-Data says on the Southeast US climate.

Not just about that, 80% of Shitty-Data Weather Forum users are delusional freaks who don't know jack shit about the weather, and on that laughing stock of a forum, it's worse to call out stupidity than to be stupid. |
