Title: Bloody weather
Post by: Pete on May 23, 2012, 08:36:31 PM
After weeks of incessant rain, we finally get some sun and I have to drive over the Cat & Fiddle today, sweating like a pig!

Global warming - or are they out to get me?  >:( :(

Depends where the sensor is and whether the car has been parked for sometime. In mine it always reads hotter as I start the engine then, after a few miles, airflow cools it and the reading drops...

...or it's faulty and is reading abnormally high :)

Car had been parked on Vicar lane for about 20 minutes.
It dropped to 30 by the time I was zooming down the motorway half hour later  ;)
Think it reads a little high in hot weather.

No need to convert it :

0 is freezing point (much easier to remember than 32)

10 is 'put a woolie on'

20 is 'comfortable'.

30 is 'sweltering'

Simples...  ;)

For a rough guide I just double it and add 30, works for average temperatures but goes a bit awry at either ends of the thermometer  ;)

[°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5 ⁄ 9
eg 78f -32 = 46 x 5 = 230 / 9 = 25.55c

[°F] = [°C] × 9 ⁄ 5 + 32
eg 25.55c x 9 = 229.95 / 5 = 45.99 + 32 = 77.99f

Easy when you know how  ::)

Fly - that's utter crap, you've only got it to 2 decimal places -  I need it to be much more accurate than that!!!  :))
