Well, they warned us it could be unseasonably Hot this year,.. and whilst it has been warm,.. today was diabolical,... I'm not sure what it was earlier but it HAS cooled down and it's now ONLY 31°C :dazzled:

We have half as much :cool:
Nice list :thumbsup:
That's only about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Here in Louisiana, we frequently get well above that. And extremely humid when it is that hot.
That being said, I don't know what the normal temperature is for Australia for this time of year.
Today we will be around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26-27 deg. C), so a little chilly here. :tongue:
Sometimes I miss Chicago, but not in winter, I prefer warmth over cold. They will be around 0 C. (32 F) today. Not bad, really. I don't miss the mountains of snow they get there, or the freezing windy days.
We just had 42C and 41C, hot for December - it usually gets hotter in late January.
Of more concern is the fact that we've had less then half our annual rainfall for the year :sad:

Now that's hot. And with the lack of rain, could be disastrous.
We get that hot here often, but usually mixed in with hurricanes and too much rain/flooding. Arizona (U.S. state) gets extremely hot, and always very dry there as well.
From what I understand about 'global warming' trends, hot places will get much hotter, cold places much colder, wet places will get wetter, and dry places will get much drier. If that all makes sense. Of course I could have misunderstood some of it as well. I'll stop here, since this isn't in the Coloseum - oops.

Every year we get at least a week of 40C plus. Funny thing is, because there's no humidity, you get used to it :cool:
Then 28C hits and you're cold :rolleyes:

The Dry heat is far better than the typical Far North Queensland's daily Heat & Humidity, like in Cairns,... :dazzled:
I used to hate Touring with bands around Xmas, as you would invariably always head North and had to work through truly exasperating weather !!
No way I could live up there, especially Not with my health these days !!
BTW, I was not suggesting you would get Sick from SA's water :wink2:
Way back, it used to be quite Hard and a bit Cloudy compared to our water at home and didn't taste that great. Things are Much better these days :thumbsup:

Nice pic
Yeah childhood was many white winters ,but many grownups have forget the fun and finds it annoying with icy car windows, icy roads
Common weather here is 24 hour temp move around 0 c, first it snows in night time,melt at noon and water freeze to ice next night
Also walking is risky to fall on ice before janitors have poured salt in the morning when commuting
I got padded laptop bag and put padded tablet bag inside it to protect my computer and tablets from break
Sometimes green Christmas and freezing -15 c new years eve,when you ignite your own fireworks without gloves its freezing ,one year my friend had invested in 5k kroner fireworks ,had to go inside early ,being able only use few % fireworks before freezing our fingers
I think it hit a New HIGH in Western Australia the other day, reaching 49.3°C in Geraldton !!!
Some suburbs in Perth, like Pearce, also reached 45.5°C !!

Wow !!
Well last night was the Hottest night in Sydney, since 1847 !!!
It was STILL over 26° at Midnight !!! :o ::)
What is that in real temperature (°F)?
78.8 degrees F
Google told me.
P.S. The real temperature is Kelvin. :tongue:
Just kidding.
Q: Which temperature standard came first?
A:
Quote from: Google AIThe Fahrenheit temperature scale, proposed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, came first, followed by the Celsius scale (originally called centigrade) proposed by Anders Celsius in 1742.
I guess you could say Fahrenheit really is the REAL temperature then. I did not know that for certain.
More temperature trivia...
Quote from: Google AIAbsolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin), the theoretical lowest temperature possible, is equivalent to -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

And I was replying with incredibly useful and accurate information. :biggrin:
Like F=(C x 1.8) + 32
Although I will say that, while Fahrenheit is not more (or less) accurate than Celcius/centigrade, it is more precise:
°F between freezing & boiling: 180
°C between freezing & boiling: 100
Also, we have no difficulty remembering that 32° is freezing and 212° is boiling ...

Based on a scifi book title,no idea if its true
Fahrenheit 451 is when books ignite

You totally missed the point there.
Celsius/centigrade is always touted as having freezing and boiling points that are so easy to remember (which of course they are), while Fahrenheit is supposed to cause brain freezes because 32 and 212 are sooooo hard to remember.
Hell, we can even remember that there are 5,280 feet in a mile! (Well, probably not the younger generation who get all their information about the world from their smartphones.)

No, it is not, contrary to the Yurpeen belief that your (MKS) system is superior in all ways.
There are some uses in particular where I much prefer our system. One example is carpentry and woodworking: it's actually much simpler for me to use inches and fractions of inches (1/16" being the smallest usual unit in carpentry) than to use centimeters or other metric units. Being divisible by 12 (inches/feet) or 16 (fractions of an inch) is actually an advantage here.
And as I pointed out, Fahrenheit gives a finer gradation of temperature than Celsius.
Being based on units of 10 does not necessarily a superior system of measurement make.
And no, just because "the rest of the world" uses MKS doesn't mean it's necessarily better.
For a bit of levity here, in the days of old... in any country (or empire) the standard foot was defined as the size of the emporers (or king, etc) actual foot length. Leading to incompatibility issues between nations.

Well, as usual you're confusing, or conflating, scientific and ordinary domestic usage.
All science-y stuff in the US is conducted in MKS units, just like the rest of the world.

So "10 sun (1 shaku) X 5 sun", eh?
Never hoid of those units before.
Sacred Shinto temple measurement units?
Hell, the Japanese could use pieces of string and still produce incredible joinery ...
At university we used this simple table: :smiley:
Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9
Celsius to Kelvin: Add 273
Kelvin to Celsius: Subtract 273
Fahrenheit to Kelvin: Subtract 32, multiply by 5, divide by 9, and then add 273.15
Kelvin to Fahrenheit: Subtract 273.15, multiply by 1.8, and then add 32
A. Why Kelvin is the best in terms of accuracy:
Q: The Kelvin scale, a unit of thermodynamic temperature, is used primarily by scientists, particularly in fields like physics, chemistry, and astronomy, because it's an absolute scale, meaning it starts at absolute zero, where there's no thermal energy to record very precise temperatures.
The kelvin scale is the only unit of measurement to include the temperature for "absolute zero," the total absence of any heat energy.
This makes the kelvin scale essential to scientists who calculate the temperature of objects in the cold reaches of outer space.
Water freezes at 273 kelvins, and boils at 373 kelvins.
We do not read outdoor temperatures in the kelvin scale because it uses such large numbers—a 75-degree Fahrenheit day would be read as 297 kelvins!
Why Kelvin is Used:
Absolute Scale: The Kelvin scale is based on absolute zero (0 K), representing the lowest possible temperature where molecules stop moving.
Direct Relationship to Kinetic Energy: Temperature in Kelvin is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles in a system, making it useful for understanding and predicting the behavior of matter.
SI Unit: Kelvin is the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature, making it the standard unit for scientific measurements.
Gas Laws: The Kelvin scale is essential for accurately applying gas laws, as temperature in Kelvin directly relates to pressure and volume changes in gases.
Color Temperature: Kelvin is also used to describe the color temperature of light sources, with higher Kelvin values indicating bluer light.
Who Uses Kelvin:
Scientists: Physicists, chemists, astronomers, and other scientists in the physical sciences frequently use Kelvin.
Engineers: Engineers involved in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and related fields also use Kelvin.
Lighting Industry: The lighting industry uses Kelvin to specify the color temperature of light sources.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... ad nauseous.
