highs of temperature

[irinaofr]

Forecast presenters on the radio might say

highs of 14 degrees/a high of 14 degrees/maximum temperatures of around 14 degrees

I am always confused as these don't sound like a full sentence to me. There is no is/are in them.

What would you say, please?

Thank you.

You're right. They're not full sentences. They're shortened versions.

Tomorrow, we can expect highs of 14 degrees/a high of 14 degrees/maximum temperatures of around 14 degrees.

I added the text in bold as an example to show you what they may be shortened from.

Thank you.

Teechar is exactly right. It's informal English. The verbs are understood.
