The Southwest seems like it was made specifically to drive everyone away with the intense heat. Sure, there are plenty of places in the country where the temperature gets pretty ridiculous, but the Southwest - Arizona in particular - feels like it's aggressively hot, to the point where it's almost uninhabitable. The only thing there is sand, rocks and heat. Perfect conditions for a lizard, not so much for everyone else.

Even so, it's not every day that you see temperatures in the quadruple digits: that sort of heat is typically reserved for molten metal, lava and Mordor. So, when local FOX 10 Phoenix weatherman Cory McCloskey saw that his weather map was giving him readings of over 1200 degrees, he didn't just freeze up and hope someone would fix it; he ran with it, and gave the greatest weather forecast ever.

Let's face it: a lot of us, when confronted with such an outrageous gaff, would likely tense up and hope that the problem would fix itself. Standing in front of people can be nerve-racking on its own, but when something goes wrong and there's nothing anyone can do about, it can be absolutely unbearable.

For Cory McCloskey, it seems, such stage fright is a non-issue. He didn't miss a beat, and while it's probably the most inaccurate forecast he's ever made, it's impressive that he took everything in stride. It's a hilarious glitch, but it's infinitely funnier to watch while someone goes along with it.

Before you start worrying that those temperatures are real, don't worry: as it turns out, there have been no reports of Arizona spontaneously bursting into flame.

Not yet, anyways.
