Hot Temeprature

Lately I have been hearing again and again TV weather presenters using expressions "hot temperature", "temperature getting cooler", etc. Would it make better English to say "high or low temeprature" instead and keep "hot" and "warm" to describing the weather in general?

My complaint is with those weather-guessers who say 'temp-a-ture', ignoring the internal 'r'. I also am not fond of their calling their profession 'meterologist', ignoring the other 'o'. [It makes it sound like they should be carrying meter [yard] sticks around.
