This Celsius shit got me confused
Is the US the only people that use the farenheit system?

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.

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.Comment

TRUUUU its so much easier
and yes US is the only peeps that use farenheitComment

+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 :DPromote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

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.Originally posted by CDSmith-40 -- Seriously, don't go out unless you have to.
As a reference point for the Americans, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.

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)Originally posted by wedouglasi 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.
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.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

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,Originally posted by psyko514i'm not quite sure i see your point. comparing 23C vs 25 C is like comparing 23F vs 25F...
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.
But his point merely supports the argument that C is a superior system. :DPromote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

40c is only 104fOriginally posted by CDSmithSay what?
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.

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.Originally posted by TheDoc40c is only 104f

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.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

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.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

Precise in what sense? It uses the same temperature steps as Celcius. Only difference is that 0 is at absolute zero, something which is irrelevant when talking about weather.

You're right. But absolute zero is ZERO and not -273 as Celcius said. ANd I think that's logical. Everything in Physics should be positive, not negative as for example Temperature.
Because in SI Kelvin is an official Temperature unit.

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.Originally posted by psyko514Precise in what sense?

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

The UK went metric in the 70's, young people know both systems, old people only know f. the weather on Tv they usually tell you both..
Oh and they still use miles instead of kilometres. Sort of a fucked up highbred of the two systems, but it works and confuses the fuck out of foreigners
Kelvin is the hardcore sytem 0 degrees kelvin is -256f. Liquid nitrogen temp,
I think.

We still use the two to some extent here in Canada. We give our height in feet and inches and our weight in pounds. However, our driver's licenses give the height in centimetres and weight in kilos.Originally posted by v4 mediaThe UK went metric in the 70's, young people know both systems, old people only know f. the weather on Tv they usually tell you both..

You live in a different UK than me then. Have you watched a weather forecast anytime in the last few years?Originally posted by Johny TrafficLike usual, we have a fucked up system, we use Fahrenheit for anything over freezing and Celsius for anything under
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.Comment

Here's my 2 cent take on this.
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!Comment

ok I admit, 40 is hot.. Going to be like 32ish here today.
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.

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 1:1:1.8Originally posted by ezrydnHere's my 2 cent take on this.

that doesn't mean any unit is more exact than another. the scales are just displaced at a certain ratio.
