Cooler weather

[Talmanes]

It was under 50 degrees last night and this morning, and I'm absolutely loving it.

Anyone else a fan of Fall weather?

[Ryrin]

I love Fall weather.  It's about 104 here with ash falling from the sky.

[Razen]

I love the cooler, fall weather!  I'm genuinely excited that it's turning that way now.  There is nothing like going outside on a cool autumn day, and then heading inside and drinking a big cup of hot chocolate, with cream and marshmallows, and just letting that warm you up.

 

And the weather isn't the only thing changing either - some of the trees up here in northern Wisconsin have even started to turn.  I wouldn't have believed it unless I'd seen it with my own eyes.

[csarmi]

I love the rain,

[Ryrin]

No teasing about rain.    I need rain.

[Shad_]

It's my favorite season. 

 

September has been miserable so far; it's been up in the 80s every day this month, and that's really really unusual.  High in the 60s the next two days, and I'm looking forward to that, but then it's supposed to warm back up again.  I want to move somewhere it never goes above 60 degrees.  Hell, I wear t-shirts when it's snowing out if there's no wind.

Can you please just, I don't know, use the same system 95% of the world population (plus your scientific population) uses)? It would be MUCH easier.

I think Fahrenheit is stupid but I honestly have no idea what any of it equates to in actually intelligible measurements.

Also, I won't mind if suddenly everyone starts using kelvin for temperature.

 

Like "I was 273 today and quite cold"

google "60 degrees Farenheit in Celsius"

Why should every reader do that, when one writer can do it instead?

Here's how I see things, my basic course on Celsius that I learned spending 4 months in Britain:

0 is cold.

10 is cool.

20 is nice.

30 is hot.

 

That's served me pretty well in the past. 50 in Fahrenheit would probably be about 10-12 Celsius, if I'm thinking about it correctly.  Fahrenheit is still much more intuitive, since that's what I've grown up with.

 

And I just did the calculation - it is exactly 10 Celsius.

 

It helped when I traveled to the Netherlands as well.  Because at least in Britain, distances are measured the same way they are here in the US.  The Netherlands, driving on the motorway was scary because I had no idea how far it was to anything.  The numbers meant nothing to me.

I never specified which party should do the googling  

 

You are misrepresenting me, sir.

Same for me when looking at miles... The thing is, though, that the USA is one of VERY few countries that still uses the imperial system. I believe even in England people are switching. And in the scientific world, everyone simply uses metric. As for how far it is, a big step is 1 meter, so 1000 of them is a kilometer. If you're walking at average speed, it takes you 12 minutes to walk a kilometer.

It´s lovely to watch the leaves getting yellow, orange and red in the autumn. The air is fresh. Not fond of the rain though.

I have to add 10 to everything to understand that range.

 

 

I am weird and think 30 is nice.

[csarmi]

Substract 30 then divide by two to convert to Celsius.

 

Multiply by two then add 30 to do it backwards.

You live in a warmer country, and people always adjust to what they're used to.

I'm pretty sure there was a 1.8 in it somewhere.

Guessing you live near the Central Valley then... Ash fall the past few days, from many nearby fires, and lack of rain FTL 

[Panchi]

F = (9/5)*C + 32

 

 

Weirdly, the page open in my math book had this formula.

[Talmanes]

Sorry guys I'll try to be .ore Celsius friendly in the future haha

 

 

I'm a big supporter of using GMT instead of US time zones if that helps

[Leyrann]

It does. I just use my own time and then call it GMT+1 because that calculation is just easy for everyone.

[Panchi]

Calculating using GMT is easier. I never understood what US timezone is used where.
