Celcius got mixed in there. 90º would have fit right in.



I thought this might be a discussion about microwaved potatoes, with mixed warm and cool spots. Or Britney's career?

There is a problem here. There was no cold front passing through Puerto Rico or anything to naturally cause this dramatic increase and decrease in temperature. The normal temperature for this time of the year in San Juan is a high of about 82ºF and a low of 72ºF.
