In January 2014, the “polar vortex” swept across the eastern US leading some media outlets to claim this was the “coldest weathe

r in decades” in Baltimore between Jan 6 & Jan 8. It turns out that only 5 years prior, in 2009, Jan 15 – Jan 17 were 5 degrees colder in Baltimore than the coldest temperatures in 2014. Why did these media outlets say it was the “coldest weather in decades”? Many statisticians say that it is a mistake to look at weather temperature records the way that media outlets looked at the Baltimore "record"; why do you think they say this is a "mistake"?

1. Las agencias de noticias suelen distorsionar los hechos debido a dos razones principales: el desconocimiento del tema o la intención de atraer más espectadores/lectores exagerando la noticia. En este caso, las agencias de noticias informaron la temperatura más baja, ignorando el promedio del periodo; así, dijeron que era el periodo más frío en décadas. Además, al usar un título que afirma que fue el clima más helado en décadas, automáticamente incitan a los lectores a interesarse, aumentando así la audiencia.

2. Por otro lado, los estadísticos discrepan con las afirmaciones de las agencias de noticias. Esto se debe a que las agencias solo consideran un único mínimo absoluto. Esa no es la manera correcta de calcular la temperatura más baja en un periodo dado; es el promedio de las temperaturas durante ese tiempo lo que brinda una imagen precisa sobre las condiciones climáticas.
