Yeah. Anything above 25° is too hot.

Unfortunately, that means most of the summer here in NY State; except for the heat wave in which I nearly died, it's been between about 25° and 30° during the day.

Also, if you don't use Celsius, kill yourself. (And did you never take a high school science class?)


As a scientist, I must make it known that Kelvin is the scale I've used the most. I also feel the need to point out that the Fahrenheit scale is technically a more accurate scale as there are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling compared to Celsius' 100 degree seperation.

It's been in the 90s here, and I have had to work with a broken A/C at my store, so our AVERAGE temperature is about 80-84 F. And it's also humid.

What makes this worse is that we have customers who come up to us and say, "Um, I think your A/C is broken." The past two weekends I've been very close to smacking said customers in the face with a bottle of cologne.

"Seriously, fucktard? You think our A/C is broken? No, I'm just a 25 year old guy going through FUCKIN MENOPAUSE AND HAVING HOT FLASHES! That explains why I am sweating like your whore of a mother in church. Now either buy something or GTFO."

Of course, if I did say that, I'D be the one with the problem.

Today outside it was about 10 C but now the suns has gone behind the hills its about 3 C.

Inside its freezing NZ is notorious for poorly insulated houses... Ours is one of the better ones. And its a scarfie flat <- Otago students we are NZ renowned for living in horribly cold and shitty living conditions. This year we got a lovely flat but its still cold allot of the time

Thursday looks like 25 - 29 (C). But also looks like scattered thundershowers. Boo.

Projected temperature for Friday, though is 22 - 25. Overnight low looks like it might go as far as 10.

Today was the first time since I arrived in America that it was below 30. It was 23 today, the day before that it was 38, and pretty much around that for the 2 weeks prior.
It doesnt help does it?

It's bloody freezing here. In fact it's been a consistently cold winter generally (by local standards, of course). I think ~10 C is the highest I've seen it over the past couple of months.

And since this was the perfect time to be renovating - we currently have no roof insulation. I am rugged up.

Sorry no.

As a scientist I hope you know the difference between accuracy and precision. Fahrenheit could be considered a more precise scale but it is not any more accurate than any other way of measuring temperature including Kelvin and electron volts. Saying one temperature scale is more precise than another is a bit silly since you can always use fractions of what ever units you are using. How often do you need to know the temprature to with half a degree anyway?

It is a 12 C in Melbourne but it feels colder than that. Like in New Zealand insulation is a foreign concept in Australia and central heating is far from universal.

Low twenties, high teens, and it has been for weeks. Been a good summer so far, though it hasn't rained in weeks. Which is strange, seen as I am...In England

It has been in the high eighties for a while, but we've had some nice mid-70s days.

My AC is broken in the opposite way of the rest of yours, it keeps getting too cold, even when I tell the controller to turn it off. I keep having to open and close windows to control the temperature.

I think the heatwave is over now, but it's still humid as fuck. I wish humidity was a person so I could stab it in the neck. AND we had water restrictions for an extra week because fucking Potomac had to burst a god damn water main TWICE!

Yeah, that was yesterday. It was so humid it felt like I could swim swim to the store.

Today is much nicer, though. 22...supposed to get a bit humid later, but even then it won't be bad. I'm such a wuss about summer. Freezing winter doesn't bother me that much, but as soon as I it gets above 30, I'm sweating like a BP exec at an environmentalist rally.

It's actually not been too bad here in Texas lately. It's only supposed to get up to 103 F here during the weekend, considering it's just now August thats a pretty good record compared to a few years ago, especially since the rest of the week has been in the nineties. Maybe if we're lucky it'll be less then 70 degrees Christmas day this year.

Eh, it's been low 90's F ( 32-33 C) for a month and the foreseeable future. Luckily, with the help of thermal drapes, I can keep my apt at 80-82F (28C) without using the A/C and just be naked most of the time. I love living alone.

I feel like an idiot right now. You're right, I meant precise, not accurate and all I meant by the comment was that not knowing Celsius when you live in the states should not be a death worthy crime. I apologize for sounding like an a** though. I didn't mean to.

the way i always remember the conversion from f to c is this

32°F=0°C
-40°C=-40°F (really futzing cold transcends unit conversion)
72°F(units)=40°C(units)
72/40=18/10=1.8
1°C=1.8+32°F
20°C=68°F
30°C=86°F
40°C=104°F

Raised in the US and Europe, and having a lot of European friends growing up, I got pretty good at doing this on the fly. You can derive this all from looking at a conversion chart. Just remember that its 1.8+32, or, like my mnemonic, -40° is the same in both, and 32 in F is 0 in C. It works for me.

Trying to learn the metric system by using conversion charts isn't necessarily the best way. I've found that it help to use less precise but more intuitive comparisons, and guesstimate in metric rather than converting from Imperial.

Some situations require exact conversions, of course, but to really get a feel for metric it's best to dive right in. In fact, there was a handy-dandy xkcd strip about this very topic. (Apologies to that guy who hates xkcd [except not really].)
