The Temperature's Rising Again :(

100F is the human body temperature, or something like that..

96.4 is the human body temperature.

Stew's right, we should use Kelvin. It is going to be hot tomorrow...I hear it is going to be over 300K

Well I don't mind hot weather but in this country that means it is going to be really humid and sticky. In some nice mediterranean climate a temperature of around 35 or something is fine, but that over here would be horrible...

Especially when people don't bathe. No picture yet Provvy.

I never said we should use Kelvin, F is fine by me.

Okay I found it myself:

Regarding temperature, the same countries using the Metric system also employ a system called Celsius. It is also called ‘Centigrade’ because it is a system based on the number 100. In the Celsius system water freezes at zero and boils at 100. The U.S. uses a system called Fahrenheit, in which water freezes at 32 degrees above zero and boils at 212 degrees. In the Celsius system there are 100 degrees going from freezing to boiling but there are 180 degrees from freezing to boiling in the Fahrenheit system.

So in F's it's also about the freezing and boiling water.
Seeing how most of the antique measurements have a divider which is odd number, it's clear they are also meant to be easy to use. 180
A job half done.

It's 98.6 . How can anyone not know that?

This thread makes you all seem like a bunch 'o pansies. OMG it's 80 ooooohhhh noooooo . But but but there's humidity. Deal with it!

Two weeks ago it was 114 - 118 here all week. Lately it's been much nicer since we've had some rain. Yesterday it was ~104 and humid, pretty nice .

Anyone who complains about weather in the 80's needs a swift kick in the ass.

"Two weeks ago it was 114 - 118 here all week."

Getting on for 50C? I doubt it. You are factoring in humidity into your temperature. We don't do that.

Thanks, good night.

No I'm not Bods. I live in Phoenix Arizona. The temp was exactly as I said it was.

We're gonna be hitting the bleedin' 80s again soon.

Find a beer garden and quit moaning! 80's is hardly excessive

Where I live, on the Monterey Bay, the weather is very moderate. The average day in the winter varries from the upper 30's to the mid 50's. In the summer, it varries from the mid 50's to the high 60's. The temps at times break into the 80s or 90s, but normally only for a few hours. In the afternoon at around 4pm, on-shore breeze off the cold waters of the Bay drop the temps back into the mid 50s.

I find it difficult to travel because the temperatures elsewhere are so much warmer in the summer as to be unbearable. In the winter, it is also too hot in many buildings as the average Easterner seems to like his winter temperature in the low to mid 70s, while I like it around 68.

Just now, the temperature is 7O, but it is not cloudy. The sky is cloudless and the sun is shinning brightly.

Montreal ... well, ok, so I only lived there for two years, but they were a rather formative two years. Still, I've spent over an hour outside in -40 weather before.

I could say the same about then 20s and teens.

The best weather up here in Minnesota is in late May; it is usually in the upper 60's and low 70's. Summers here are hot (Because of the summer humidity makes it feel 95F when it is 85F out). Of course we are famous for our winters. . I hate walking to school when it is -15F out.

Euros, our climate is almost identical to Moscow's.

I always thought that Celsius was invented before Farenheit.
