It does rather look as though the Daily Mail were so desperate to hang the 'unfit for cattle' line on this story that they made this 'mistake' on purpose. (Note that I'm not saying the temperature in parts of the Tube has never reached 35C or more - but this story is about the map that TfL released today.) Yes, you're right, the map scale only goes up to 32C, yet the Wail says, "The new map recorded temperatures above 35C at some stations". |
