[SPEC] 62 degrees, in winter, at midnight, in NYC?
Strange weather inaccuracies

http://meikathon.net/cloverfield/63degrees.jpg

No coats inside or outside, it's 62 degrees at midnight on January 18th in New York City.
Could this be part of the movie, or just an extremely idiotic mistake?

Yeah, try checking the trailer-analysis thread. Pretty nice.

We're never going to get to the bottom of this if you keep whining about this. The trailer analysis forum is way too big to be efficient. Things like this deserve their own thread.

It's already been found. Searching through 30-some pages would let him know this. There is much speculation on the subject.

here is what i think, you bring up an excellent point about the temp, however:
1. Rob came in with a jacket at the begging of the trailer, so maybe the temp was a freak occurance caused by the monster. Maybe it was cold.

2. If you were at a party, you wouldn't were a jaket. And then if you heard that noise, your first thought most likely wouldn't be, "i should get my jaket, THEN go outside." you, like every other person, would just go outside as fast as they could.

Not to shoot you down, but somethings can be thought out logically.

True, but Rob never takes off his jacket in the trailer....

However, since this came up earlier in chatting with a friend up in NY and I was intro'ing her to all this about cloverfield (she'd not heard about it), I did ask about the temps there, just to get her take on it. I had been under the impression that in January last year there was some kinda blizzard going on, something was up there but it was by no means any 60degrees at any point in January. I asked if she could find out for me what the temp was on Jan 18 this year...and she got back to me with the info a bit later.

She wrote:

Quote:
i picked riverhead's readout cause out of all these listed it's closest to here
and i'm having same weather as nyc
i'm only 45 miles away from it
(me) so 63 is reasonable for last jan?
(me) or 61

noooooo
61 was the record high ever recorded during the day

this year jan 15-21st the temps were 0-5 degrees

our first freeze of the year was dec 4th meaning it had been that cold for awhile 0-5 in jan and 61 record high during day was in 1984 LOL


She's from the south too so for people like us where 78 degrees isn't "unseasonable" for December (happens all the time right before tornados rip us a new one), 63 deg up there she'd be freezing too Laughing

I'll send her the link to the forum....she got into it pretty quick so if there's anything going on she'd very likely try to go get info if she can.

For those of us here in Los Angeles, a temperature around 60 degrees sounds reasonable. You have to remember that set decorators and designers come up with a lot of the crap in the trailer. Everything from that green tea box that everyone swore was a hint to the on-screen newsbabe (and the temperature on the screen) are all done by a set designer. The designer probably never thought that anyone would look at the temperature, so he/she just came up with a temperature that sounded normal for those of us here in Los Angeles (because that's where the editing was done) and stuck it on there.

Once again, I wouldn't go looking for things that aren't there.

70's in January is odd, but not unheard of. Jan 7th of 2007 the temperature hit 72 during the day, and I believe was in the 60's at night.

I remember my band playing in NY back in Jan. Being from the southeast, it was cool to see proper snow for the first time in years. However, everyone was telling us that it was like the first time it snowed all winter and that a week or so before it was just as warm there as it was back in Ga, which would be up in the 70's during the day.
Still, I think there maybe was a good reason for it to be that warm.
Oh, and Rob's still rocking his coat at the party because that's the yuppie scenester thing to do...I say that knowing full well that I'm guilty of doing the same thing so maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrite Embarassed

you read my mind.
I was just about to say global warming. haha.

No, but seriously...
Maybe the weather inaccuracies will have something to do with the sudden appearance of the monster.
I'm from NYC...and I don't remember a time where you could go outside
at that time in mid-January without a jacket or coat.
