For world travelers: An EASY C to F (reciprocals) temp conversion.

[trof]

0 C = 32 F
Freezing temp of water.
100 C = 212 F
Boiling point of water.
OK, everybody knows (or should know) that.
We will not deal with nor address kelvin here.
That makes my head hurt.

However,
16 C = 61 F
28 C = 82 F

Using these guidelines, you can interpolate the rest and come pretty close.
At least close enough to know if you'll need a sweater in Paris or Istanbul tomorrow.

Yer welcome.

1. Yeah, that's good for traveling.

At home I use this conversion tool:



:)

2. OK, there's that, too.

:-)

3. Yes, it's a good use for an old photo-developing thermometer.

It's still accurate, but I have to hold it outside if I want the "local" temps ;)

4. except that 35C is not 53F nt

[trof]

8. Well, that's true. So. What. ?

;-)

[WolverineDG]

13. Big difference :)

your little trick works up until 29C.

6. Easier to think of it as two logarithmic series convolved through Schroedinger probability wave

but that's just me - I prefer to do things in my head, rather than waste the paper writing it out.

:crazy:

[kentauros]

7. I think you have an error in your logarithmic postings

:P

[trof]

9. Yeah, but if you factor in Rhelph's anomaly...

that contravenes Schroedinger and also brings kelvin into the equation.
Which I was trying to avoid in the first place.

10. Do it in 11-dimensional string space and it all washes out, you moron.

I thought that was self-explanatory.

Keep it Simple Indeed - Rhelph's anomaly (while otherwise a good thing) is clearly uncalled for in this limited application due to the lack of Grappleton Miscegenators.

Lay people - what a vexation.

12. Elvis Hitler?

14. You mean I learned the conversions the hard way?

Though when travelling, I rarely looked for the actual temperature. Just stepped outside to see whether I'd need a pulli.
