A simple conversion I use is 16C X 2 + 32 = 64F (aprox.) Yesterday was in the low 80s however. Stay cool, Larry.

I just work it out in my head...

C to F... Multiply by 9, divide by 5, add 32.
F to C... Minus 32, times by 5, divide by 9 (or divide by 10, then add on a further tenth of that)

Gets you to within half a degree usually.

Living here in the United States of America the temp is shown both ways, "F" for fahrenheit, and "C" for all those Canadians out there! Smiley

Man, you still with that old and rickety Fahrenheit scale over there? Huh

...and pounds (meant as weight measurement, not quids), yards, statute miles and gallons too? Tongue

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

Which scale is more accurate?

Fahrenheit - 180° between freezing and boiling

Centigrade - 100° between freezing and boiling

Not that it makes much difference in South Florida.

90° F or 32° C and 90% humidity we would just call it hot as a mofo.

After the hot spell and the cooler air mass pushes in then comes the storms and tornadoes. We topped out at 16C today. A simple conversion I use is 16C X 2 + 32 = 64F (aprox.) Yesterday was in the low 80s however. Stay cool, Larry.

I'll try Steve. Sad

But your formula in reverse would indicate 19C here for the next five days. Cheesy

You'd be 33C. Shocked

I gave up on your formula and used my converter. We're both wrong. It's 37C/99F here. Cry

(That's sweat, not tears) Roll Eyes

My house is poorly insulated, so my central air does not do a great job. I had it set on 75F/23.8C and at 0500 this morning it was 82F/27.7C in the house.

Last year the AC in my house broke during the hottest part of the summer. I remember recording a temp of 96°F in my room with windows open and fans at full blast. Shocked

I just resorted to staying at a friend's house for that week and a half.

We had a record high today of 105F. It's 1813 hours and still 103 outside, 84 inside with air conditioning and ceiling fans on wide open.

WOW!

We got a balmy 94 at 1839CDT.

I reckon I missed the memo cancelling the rest of spring! Cheesy

Seems like we went from snow to tornadoes to sweatin' more than a streetwalker in church in a very short timespan. Sad

Yeah, 105 is pretty darn hot, wouldn't be a good time to stick your tongue on a metal flag pole!

Just a little while ago I was lookin' at "La Nina" effects.......looks like extra-chilled Fosters is a 'side effect' much like our recent tornado outbreaks.

I know a few folks that'd trade ya a chill factor for their recent 150mph+ breezy encounters. Shocked
