Ahh bizzare.

Well in Fahrenheit it's 86 Degrees

You're sniveling about 86 degrees? Fucking pasty-skinned brits.

It's only supposed to be in the low-90's here today...and I'm happy about that. (might not have to run the AC)

Bunch of wusses. 116f forecast in Phoenix for Tuesday.

Meh. I've done Phoenix summers. They have nothing on 90 degrees + oppressive humidity. Find some shade and it's not that bad there. Finding shade in humidity does nothing to comfort you.

176°C = 348.8°F, precisely.
350°F = 176.6...°C, precisely
Numbers don't stop at integers.
(And if the recipe is so exacting that it won't turn out right if you're off by 1°, you'll need a laboratory-calibrated oven, and probably a better cookbook. ;))

yep. 350 is probably chosen because it's a nice round number on the fahrenheit scale, not because some recipe actually demands that precise temperature. I don't see why 175 celcius wouldn't work. in every day usage I don't need sub-centigrade precision, and for situations where that level of precision is warranted, you would likely need decimals for fahrenheit as well.

anyway i don't mind the sun as long as it doesn't cause overheating i.e. during winter/fall/spring. in summer though it feels oppressive. i spent a good part of my childhood in a very hot and humid region (regularly mid to high 30's celsius (high 90's fahrenheit)) but years in this wonderfully mild vancouver climate has weakened my heat tolerance to the point that anything over 26 (~80 f) makes me uncomfortable...

Yesterday, it was 110 and was the 3rd hottest day on record for the city I live in.

It was the hottest day since 1994. At 10pm it was still 95 degrees out.

Today is also 110 and its the 18th day of 100+ temps. We'll be 5 days off the record when it cools down to 99 on Thursday.

Did I mention, the average high for June/July/August is 90 degrees. This years June average has cracked 100.

Also we are currently in the second worst drought ever, could be the worst by time its over.

I never really understood Celsius as much as the metric system.

I can understand using a standard measuring system but why then use a system of temperature that can vary so much compared to other systems, even fahrenheit.

For instance one degree of celsius is often multiple degrees in fahrenheit.


Granted Kelvin is used mostly for science but fahrenheit is more accurate for many things then celsius.


humans can feel a 1 degree variation on the celcius scale, that's pretty much why.

Anything over 80 is hot and anything below 50 is cold. The wonders of living in mild temps.

You're just used to it being dreary and rainy all the time so you don't know how to handle sunshine.
