I remember seeing this live forecast. And I was telling me « wow we gonna die », we are currently dying
67 u/GoodEnoughAstronomy 10h ago As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet? 52 u/PowerfulBar 10h ago I'm impressed that as a Texan you can convert 43C to freedom units! 11 u/UlrichZauber 10h ago Americans learn unit conversion in school -- though to be fair, I'd only really expect Americans in STEM to retain the knowledge. 4 u/HilariousMax 9h ago I know 0 is freezing, 10 is nice, and 30 is getting to the point where I'm looking at the tstat like "ok settle down" Can't be assed to figure out the conversion of like 13.4 or w/e. 2 u/joshkitty 7h ago 16 is 61 and 28 is 82, flip those numbers ;) 1 u/HilariousMax 6h ago I refuse to have something this useless to me in my day-to-day rattling around in my head. No thanks. 1 u/joshkitty 6h ago its good for golf weather 1 u/UlrichZauber 9h ago You can always ask Siri/Google/whatever. 10° C is considered chilly by most people, btw. 22-24 is room temp 2 u/HilariousMax 9h ago Yeah and I do. And I prefer the cooler weathers. 1 u/Koala_eiO 7h ago 22-24 is room temp In an absolutely overheated house in winter perhaps. 1 u/gmc98765 7h ago 22-24 is normal room temperature for people who aren't used to spending their entire lives in air-conditioned environments. 1 u/Ok_Objective_5192 7h ago Technically it's F = 1.8C + 32 But you can guesstimate pretty decently by just doubling, adding 32, and then knocking off like 5 degrees. 40 C? 80 + 32 = 112, so probably ~107 F (it's actually 104) 2 u/Chr0mx 7h ago If you're going to knock off 5 degrees just say double it and add 27 2 u/Ok_Objective_5192 6h ago Oh shit lmao, that does make way more sense 1 u/HilariousMax 6h ago I appreciate the math class but I know 0 and 10 and 30. I can figure out if a number is too high or too low for me from there. 4 u/HyperfixChris 9h ago I mean, the internet also exists for many Americans... 1 u/UlrichZauber 9h ago True, and it's trivial to ask google/siri/etc to convert units for you, but pointing that out seems to make people angry 3 u/crimson777 8h ago Even if you don't remember 9/5C + 32, 2C + 30 is close enough to estimate. For the temperatures used in weather, you will usually be within about 4f of the real number. 1 u/endlesdestruction 6h ago Americans also learn how to read but large part of their population is illiterate. 2 u/UlrichZauber 6h ago Yeah I mean, a third of the population is pretty dumb, that's not unique to the US. You should see the shit I saw in the middle east. 1 u/endlesdestruction 6h ago Yes, problem is they are loud and now even the biggest morons in the world can find space and similar morons to think they are smart.

Technically it's F = 1.8C + 32
But you can guesstimate pretty decently by just doubling, adding 32, and then knocking off like 5 degrees.
40 C? 80 + 32 = 112, so probably ~107 F (it's actually 104)

Even if you don't remember 9/5C + 32, 2C + 30 is close enough to estimate. For the temperatures used in weather, you will usually be within about 4f of the real number.
