I'm questioning that Salt Lake City never gets above 100F ever in September while living 30 minutes north of Salt Lake City would regularly get above 102 in September.
Now they did say "in the summer" rather than "in September", and I certainly believe it regularly gets up to 102 in Salt Lake City and the surrounding area in the summer. In which case I still question why they would make the comment about 102 in the summer and use that to imply skepticism of the rest of the reporting.
