Which of the following Christmas Day high temperatures would make biggest major headlines for their locations? All are possible so rank from most newsworthy to least newsworthy...
A) A high of 50 F in Fargo, ND
B) A high of 60 F in Chicago, IL
C) A high of 70 F in New York City, NY
D) A high of 80 F in San Jose, CA
E) A high of 90 F in Los Angeles, CA (downtown weather station)
F) A high of 90 F in Miami, FL
G) A high of 110 F in Sydney, Australia
A high of 70 F in NYC. We will reach 67 F with partial sunshine and thunderstorms this Sunday. Its also right after my finals finish. I am either heading to the shore after a Brazilian wax for sunbathing or to the NW NJ skylands to enjoy hiking.

I would get out and enjoy the "warm" day as well but NO in Kentucky we're supposed to get over an inch of rain Sunday. Then predictably, the second it clears up it will drop into the ****ing 30s again.

When are you going back to "beautiful Florida" for winter break. Don't you enjoy warm water and sunshine.
Living near the Jersey shore has its advantages IMO.
Highs over 104F occur every summer in Sydney (it's gonna be 110F degrees here in the west in a couple of days) - so it wouldn't be 'news'. But then again, our media is so sensitive - they make news out of everything. So it may be a headline, but NOT a major headline.
I'd put Hobart, TAS for your G option. A high of 110F will definitely be a major headline there.
PS. Hope Americans would use Celsius more often in these boards. We always use Fahrenheit for youse

Wikipedia lists a record high of 108 F for Sydney in the month of December- Sydney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ; I only picked it cuz I wanted to have a city in the Southern Hemisphere in my poll and Sydney is the best known Southern Hemisphere large city. When I looked it the current record, I choose 110 F based on the fact that it's slightly above the current record for December and thought that alone would make it "newsworthy". All of the scenarios are totally possible without even being outlandish like some of my other "which is more likely?" polls.
Here's my attempt to guess the conversions without using a convertor or doing calculations:
A) High of 10 C in Fargo
B) High of 16 C in Chicago
C) High of 21 C in NYC
D) High of 27 C in San Jose
E) High of 32 C in LA
F) High of 32 C in Miami
G) High of 44 C in Sydney

Sydney "best known city" by whom?
Is it better known than Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro or Cape Town for instance?
What the hell is "best known" supposed to mean?
Such statements, totally meaningless and yet presented as if they were objective truths, are really irritating.
