The discussion centers around extreme heat experienced in various locations, with some areas reporting temperatures as high as 111°F and forecasts predicting highs of 109°F. Participants share their discomfort, noting that nighttime temperatures have remained uncomfortably high, with some places experiencing temperatures above 80°F at midnight. The conversation highlights the challenges of coping with such heat, including the effectiveness of air conditioning and alternative cooling methods like fans and ice. Some participants compare their experiences in different regions, with mentions of humidity affecting perceived temperatures and comfort levels. A few anecdotes illustrate the intensity of the heat, such as a record high of 128°F in Baker, California. The discussion also touches on the impact of heat on daily life, including difficulties in sleeping and the strain on air conditioning systems. Overall, the thread captures a shared sense of frustration and humor in dealing with the oppressive summer heat.

I have never had a babysitter...you CAN read...right?

Only someone whos had a babysitter would be so defensive about having a babysitter

I haven't been defensive

I didn't have to make a 10 character argument, I said what I needed to say without saying other stupid crap

It's ok, yomamma. You don't have to be embarrassed about having a sitter.

Ignores yomamma and Pengwuino

It's very hard to follow this thread if you keep using medieval units. Come on people, how hard van it be to post in internationally accepted units? That way even non-Americans can follow you :wink: I'll accept Kelvin as a compromise (it is a science board after all)

As for here, it reached 37°C in Belgium this week! We're supposed to be a sea-side, temperate Western European country!

Well, at least that temperature I can convert readily. 37 C = 98.6 F (body temperature). But, here, I'll give you a table to help. :wink: Anything below 0 C or 32 F is too damn cold to matter, and anything above 40 C and 104 F is too damn hot to matter, so I limited it to that range.

The weather people keep lying to us. It was supposed to hit a high of 95 yesterday [for Dimitri, that's in Kelvin]. By 10AM it was 90, and by late afternoon it hit a high of at least 102 [for Dimitri, that's in eV]. Today it is supposed to hit a high of 90. It was 90 at 10AM.

I've got a flu! So I'm hot anyway no matter how hot here it is!:rolleyes:

Does your babysitter let you stay on this late?
Are you jealous that yours don't?:-p

Ok ok we know you need 1 but it's your parents who should hire 1 for you not PF'ers!:smile:

Cool! I was wondering if asking you to use natural (or God-given :biggrin: ) units was going to be too much of a strech, but I'd be much more at ease if you would you use eV's! :wink:

Damn Ivan, it's pretty cold out there!

@Moonbear : thanks, I can actually work with the Fahrenheit scale, but I felt like being a stuck up European for once.

It's been around 305 degrees (K) here in Colorado Springs. I'm not even sure it's correct to say it's a dry heat. We've been getting thunderstorms most afternoons or evenings and the air's thin enough the temp always drops below 290 degrees (K) in the night time. I've never seen the prairies this green this late in the summer before (in fact, I almost forgot green was a color) and we're having to mow the yard nearly once a week.

Should you really convert a number rounded off to two digits to a three digit number? Human body temperature is about 36.8 C if taken to three digits, which is about 98.2 F.

I dunno. In Alameda, CA it hit 105 bushels yesterday.

I think plasma temps are sometimes measured in eV. But really the point was to give dimitri a bad time. :biggrin:

25.41 \, \mbox{meV}/k_B here. Much warmer outside, but still too cold for plasma ignition.

Dimitri - I already was using your stupid anti-scientific centigrade scale, back in post #4.

True enough. Don't feel bashfull about just using MeV, when you're a theoretical physicist you can set any constant of nature equal to 1 until proven guilty :biggrin:

That's meV, not MeV!
