Editorial Policy and Content Standards
Temperatures.com separates measured weather data from editorial explanation, names the source and time period behind important figures, and does not claim personal testing, professional credentials or specialist review that cannot be verified.
What we publish and how it is produced
Weather and climate pages start with measured data
Current conditions, the 48-hour hourly outlook and the 14-day forecast come from WeatherAPI.com. Monthly climate figures use daily ERA5 reanalysis data for the fixed 2015-2024 period. Our software calculates monthly averages, seasonal differences, rankings and comparisons from those records. The full inputs and limits are listed in our weather data methodology.
City descriptions are assembled from the city’s own measurements. A wet-season sentence appears because the monthly records show a wet season. A temperature comparison appears because the same calculation was run across the covered dataset. We do not add a different adjective merely to make two otherwise identical pages look unique.
Guides and tools must explain their evidence
Guides are maintained as structured editorial records with a title, summary, sections, visible source list and update date. Calculators show their formula, assumptions or interpretation where those details affect the answer. A tool result is not presented as personal medical, legal or professional advice.
- Primary sources first: safety thresholds should point to the public authority responsible for them.
- Limits stay visible: reanalysis values are not called official station records, and estimates are labeled as estimates.
- No invented authority: a page does not receive a reviewer name, credential, test result or first-person experience unless it can be verified.
How we use automation
Automation can calculate and check, but it is not evidence
Software and automated tools assist with calculations, page assembly, drafting and quality checks. Every release is tested for crawlability, title and H1 alignment, descriptive anchor text, content depth and substantial duplication. Those checks can catch a broken or mass-produced page, but they cannot turn an unsupported statement into a fact.
Claims must therefore be supported by the displayed dataset, a cited source or a clearly explained calculation. We reject filler, keyword substitutions and artificial uniqueness. Pages that only change a place name, number or search phrase do not meet the publication standard.
Health, food and safety information
Source-based general information is not specialist review
Some temperature questions involve fever, food safety, UV exposure or scald risk. These pages summarize the named public sources shown on the page and state practical limits. Unless a qualified reviewer is identified on that page, no clinician, food-safety specialist or other licensed professional review is claimed. Readers should follow local authorities, product instructions and qualified professional advice when a personal or urgent decision is involved.
Updates, corrections and accountability
Corrections are checked against the underlying source
Live readings refresh throughout the day. The 2015-2024 climate window stays fixed so cities remain comparable. Editorial pages show a content-check or update date when one is available. A changed date must reflect an actual source or content check, not an automatic timestamp.
Temperatures.com publishes under the Temperatures.com organization identity. Questions, source concerns and correction requests can be sent through the contact page or to hello@temperatures.com. Reported errors are checked against the source data before a correction is made.
