"People in Al Ain have been braving the hottest spell of the year with mercury shooting up to 49 degree Celsius. Over the last two day, the actual temperature has gone beyond 50 degree Celsius in the oasis city as a difference of around three degrees exists between the official and the actual temperature."

Think of the heat when you open your oven door...(providing you have switched it on of course)

Sam FTQ

What's that in old money?

Spugsy

all good, had 2 interviews at ne place and waiting to hear about a final one, had one at another place and they want me back for a 2nd, and had another and they want me to start in September,

so aye, all good, cheers man.

arbroath_abroad

double it and add 30..

Inselaffen

very inaccurate

multiply x 1.8 and add 32.

arbroath_abroad

my way: 132.8F
your way: 124.52F


yes in the grand scheme of things thats a massive difference...NOT


but thanks for that, every day is a school day...

lionheart

Was always taught to multiply by 9 then divide by 5 then add 32...its the same as your way, but less difficult sums.

rowell

is 9/5 not 1.8?

shakh your bootie

SYBS way:

Work in Kelvin.

Convert to Celsius when needed.

Never allow mindless Yanks to enforce their "English" antidiluvial system of units upon you.

lionheart

Yes, but can you multiply by 1.8 in your head?

Inselaffen

Good point that Camp man
lets not have Swedish units enforced on us by the Frenchies or German Units enforced on us by the Septics.

Time for the weather forecast to be in Kelvin.

it never goes over 50 degrees here officially, as then we would all be on a day off..! but it can get to over 55 (allegedly).
