What You Didn’t See in the Widget
Although the historical widget provides core temperature data, it lacks details on cloud cover, fog persistence, humidity intensity, and visibility issues—all of which shaped the feel of the day. Accounts of morning fog transitioning to overcast skies reinforce that it wasn’t just cooler, but also a bit damp and enveloped in low clouds early on.
