      I think so.


      Celsius, or centigrade, is easy. Zero is freezing, -20 is cooold, and +20 is around 70 F. so it's just right. +30 is hot, good beach weather.

      Simple.

        I dont know, but the celsius system sounds more logic, with 0 as water freezing point.
        Also the meter system sounds more logic to me, 1-10 thats what I count on my hands.

              +40 -- roasting hot
              +30 -- hit the beach
              +20 -- t-shirt weather
              +10 -- cool, put on a light jacket
              0 --- freezing point. Turn on the furnace.
              -10 -- Perfect outdoor hockey weather
              -20 -- Cold, but if you're not a pussy you'll survive
              -30 -- Don't go out unless you have to. Put on a parka and long-johns
              -40 -- Seriously, don't go out unless you have to.


              Of course, wind chill lowers the temperature when it's cold, so -30 can sometimes be -50. Watch out for that, or better yet, stay out of Canada in the winter :D

                I think they still use the Imperial system in the UK as well.

                  Pfft.. I don't know what winter is like in Winnipeg, but we usually get about 2 weeks worth of -40 days in December/January here. Never stops us from going out.

                  As a reference point for the Americans, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.

                      Here in the summer days are around 43º (109 F), sometimes we get to 50º (122 F). I'm not kidding. Summer here is so fucking awful.

                          Think about it. I'm talking to an American. I doubt Juicy is used to -20 let alone -40.

                          THINK.


                          We in Winterpeg live over 5 months of the year in that kind of weather, don't even talk to me about cold.

                              I think celsius makes more sense.

                              Water freezes at 0°C

                              Water boils at 100°C
                              I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                              I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                i got no beef with C, but i still prefer F...mainly because it gives you a larger range for comparison...what is 23C vs 25 C in F? probably more than a 2 degree difference.

                                  its a 2 degree differenece any way you cut it.

                                    If you got yourself more familiar with the C system you would know that your point is irrelivant. Celsius is a far superior system, and I'm someone who knew F from an early age. At the age of about 13 I and my schoolmates had to drop everything we knew and learn the new system because it became the standard here in Canada that year. (back in the mid 70's)

                                    We eventually learned that it is a much easier and simpler system. 1's, 10's, 100's, and 1000's are easier to work with than 32 degrees for freezing, 12 inches, 5,682 or whatever the fuck it is ft in a mile.... as opposed to 1000 meters in a kilometer? No comparisson at all.

                                    I doubt the US will switch anytime soon though, they're pretty stuck in the old system.

                                      i'm not quite sure i see your point. comparing 23C vs 25 C is like comparing 23F vs 25F...

                                        I lived in Canada (Edmonton) for a few years, it helped push the system on me..

                                        +40 isn't hot, +50 is hot... Phoenix hot. And -60, the liquid in your eyes, mouth, and lungs freeze the second the door opens. Frostbyte to exposed skin in seconds.

                                        -40c and -40F is the same.

                                          Actually,

                                          23C = 73F
                                          and
                                          25C = 77F

                                          The difference in C is only the 2 degrees, but the same difference in F is 4 degrees.

                                          They equal the same in temperature, but I think his point was that by the different scales there is that difference.

                                              40c is only 104f
                                              Most of the southern US hits 104 during the summer for a few months straight.

                                              It's 40c by 9am in Phoenix, hits 48 during the day, and 50 when the wind blows.

                                              It doesn't get below 32 at night time.

                                                +40 isn't hot, +50 is hot... Phoenix hot. And -60, the liquid in your eyes, mouth, and lungs freeze the second the door opens. Frostbyte to exposed skin in seconds.

                                                -40c and -40F is the same.
                                                +40 is hot, +50 is just hotter

                                                    I know what it is. 104 F is hot. I know plenty of people in the S. States who say 104 is plenty hot. Your words were "40C is not hot".... sorry, I beg to differ.

                                                    That's all.

                                                    compared to +50, then yes 40 won't seem hot, but it hits +40 here in Winnipeg the odd time in the summers, and whether you want to believe it or not, it's hot.

                                                        Dude, 40C is hot. Not everyone is part iguana like you. Hell, +30 should be hot enough for anybody. In fact, if it would stay sunny and about 24C all summer I'd be just happy as all get-out. I don't like it too hot.

                                                                                true noone besides docs use the Kelvin system, it was never meant to be used for weatherstuff. Oh and we dont use windchill factors in Europea, a few countries do but its something from the last yrs since they think its trendy.

                                                                                Not much use if you live in a country with landclimate and no wind

                                                                                        We ran both for a long while due to the change only happening in he 70's but like it or not there's very little use of imperial now other than the road system and people over 35-40. Best case scenario you'll get the odd imperial conversion shown too although more often and not these days in all measurements you get just metric. If it's any different where you are then as I say - you live in a different UK than me.

                                                                                          I'm an American, living in Mexico. I find that the F v. C question is a simple matter of "specifics." English is a much more specific language than Spanish. Spanish is very "generic." Take away a person's expressions and hand gestures and they can't speak Spanish.

                                                                                          "Specifics", as mentioned here, means "exactness." With C, you're breaking down a range "generically." F tends to break it down more specificially by giving you more segments within the same range. K goes even farther, within that same range and gives you MORE units to work with within the noted range.

                                                                                          The range of "exactness" withing a noted reference segment is broad (C), segmented (F) and precise (K).

                                                                                          Play with you numbers all you want. Words, too. When one has more units to choose from, within a stated range, you get more exact readings, not some "generic round about."

                                                                                          And....Spanish sucks, too!

                                                                                              I like the heat though. I grew up in Texas then moved to Canada and about died. Spending two winters in Edmonton was one crazy experience. I moved to Vegas thinking it was warm enough, which it wasn't. (it gets damn cold in the winter in vegas). Now I'm in S. Arizona and loving it.

                                                                                                    I'm an American, living in Mexico. I find that the F v. C question is a simple matter of "specifics." English is a much more specific language than Spanish. Spanish is very "generic." Take away a person's expressions and hand gestures and they can't speak Spanish.

                                                                                                    "Specifics", as mentioned here, means "exactness." With C, you're breaking down a range "generically." F tends to break it down more specificially by giving you more segments within the same range. K goes even farther, within that same range and gives you MORE units to work with within the noted range.

                                                                                                    The range of "exactness" withing a noted reference segment is broad (C), segmented (F) and precise (K).

                                                                                                    Play with you numbers all you want. Words, too. When one has more units to choose from, within a stated range, you get more exact readings, not some "generic round about."

                                                                                                    And....Spanish sucks, too!
                                                                                                    Celsius is as exact as Kelvin is. the scale is just displaced. 0C = 273,15K and 10C = 283,15K so it's 1:1. but compared to fahrenheit the ratio is 1:1:1.8

                                                                                                    that doesn't mean any unit is more exact than another. the scales are just displaced at a certain ratio. kelvin is the scientifical unit. I know I'm clever shit
