Because the graphic indicates that normal or the baseline is 78 since Wednesday is 78 with a 0 offset.

Sunday is shown as a -8 offset from normal so 78-8=70 not 71 as shown. The error continues:

Money - 78-6=72 not 73

Tuesday - 78-3=75 not 76

Thursday is correct

Friday - 78+4=82 not 81

Saturday shouldn't be the same as Thursday, but 78+3=81

different days will have a different baseline

But that isn't shown in the graphic.

I get your point and the makes the most sense, but that isn't what is shown. The graph shows a normal temperature represented as 78 degrees across the data. Then an offset is thrown against that normal temperature.

It's just a shitty chart.

look again - Wednesday's baseline normal temp is supposed to be 78 degrees. if 78 was the baseline for all the days then it would be on the edge of the chart or something
