Bloody weather
« 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?  >:( :(

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

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  ::)
