On Tuesday, Ginger gave a report all about rising temperatures, just as the new season begins.
GMA shared a clip of it on Twitter, writing with it: “The first official day of summer is breaking dangerous temps for millions of Americans. @ginger_zee has the latest forecast.”
One annoyed fan replied: “Yes, just like us humans, the weather changes.”
Then another sarcastically replied about Ginger’s report: “Nope..you can't beat heat...at least not on Gma.

“It would have been interesting to hear about the ice snow and really frigid conditions up in the white mountains where a Hiker died a couple of days ago but nope..stuck on HEAT!”
Seeing this online attack toward her, Ginger clapped back, telling the troll: “We spoke about @MWObs yesterday— you must have missed that!
“Watch every single second then critique me please.”
The fan then responded: “My bad...I don't watch Gma all the time.”

One of the personality’s fans defended her, saying: “You tell him, Ginger!!”
Earlier this month, Ginger was criticized for one of her weather reports for a completely different reason, and she had a much different response.
A fan reached out to the TV personality on Twitter to correct her on her pronunciation of “Kearney.”
The social media user wrote: “Hey @Ginger_Zee in Nebraska we pronounce Kearny, ‘Carney’… for next time."
They then added: “Love ya!”
Ginger took it in stride and responded: “And I went into that so confident that I knew that one… lesson learned.”
Many of the meteorologist's fans expressed sympathy for her.
One said: “I hate it when I've been pronouncing a word wrong in my head for years that I've only ever read on paper/a screen.”
Another told her: “Texas is bad, too, Ginger.
"We always can recognize new weatherpersons by how they pronounce Buda, Elgin, Carmine, Pedernales La Mesa and Bexar."
A third person wrote: “To be fair, we have a lot of cities in the KC area that aren't pronounced as they are read.
"I'm pretty sure, as in New Orleans, there are a lot of other cities who do the same. People from New Orleans don't ever say New Orleans.”
Last week, fans were surprised to see Ginger out from GMA, with Sam Champion having to fill in for her.
This actually led viewers to be concerned for TV personality Rob Marciano as he's often done the weather when she's out.
While many were happy to see Sam, who held the GMA position before Ginger, back on their screens, others were worried about Rob.
Aside from sometimes helping out during the week when Ginger can’t, Rob’s also the meteorologist for GMA’s weekend editions.
Though, he’s been absent from this role for a while, too, which has only added to his fans’ worries.
After seeing Sam give the forecast on the morning show on Thursday, one fan reached out to Rob and asked, “Where are you?”
Another blasted Good Morning America for not keeping its viewers updated on what’s happening with the 53-year-old.
“It is apparent that GMA/ABC have made some determination on Rob Marciano's future with them,” the user speculated.

They added: “Given he no longer backfills for Ginger or appear on GMA weekends.
“GMA/ABC need to pull up their socks and tell us viewers who are fans of Rob what has happened.”
