Why doesn the weather page show Baghdads temperatures?
Since the opening offensive strikes on the city of Baghdad in 2003, the two official overseers of international weather information — the International Weather Source and the World Meteorological Organization — ceased listing actual temperature reports on their websites from the city of Baghdad. It has been a longstanding practice of The Times to publish only actual temperature reports managed by legitimate weather data gathering organizations such as the National Weather Service. As soon as the data does become obtainable for publication those temperatures will be published.
