I really can't see the problem. Unless you are a recent
immigrant from a place with a very different climate or are less than
about 10 years old you will know what "normal" is for your area and
time of year.

Well I am used to being in a minority! It obviously does not bother anyone
else here but personally I would prefer to be told what the expected
temperatures were going to be. This is especially true as I travel around
the country a lot and am not always familiar with an area. Subjective terms
such as warm, cool, hot etc would in my mind also be preferable to "about
average."
