Saturday’s temperature had triggered an excessive heat warning across Arizona as lows were expected to range between 80F and 86F
On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced that the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport reached 110F, making it the 54th day this year with temperatures of at least 110F.
Saturday’s temperature breaks the previous record of 53 days that was set in 2020. From 1991 to 2020, the average consecutive days of 110F or above is 21 days, the NWS said.
An excessive heat warning has been issued for south central and south-west Arizona until 8pm on Sunday as weekend highs are expected to range between 108F and 114F. Meanwhile, lows are expected to range between 80F to 86F.
110F = 43.33C if anyone else was wondering.
Metric: 1 calorie heats 1 gram of water 1 C°, 1 gram is equal to 1cm³. Water boils at 100 C° and freezes at zero.
Imperial: 1 calorie heats 1 something by ?? F equal to ???, and 0F and 100F are completely irrelevant to everyday life and tasks.
Use the right tool for the right job. Fahrenheit helps plan your day, with weather or pool temperatures or whatever. Celsius is for science and engineering. This argument sounds a little like driving a nail with a torque wrench.
I can ballpark C to F. But pressure is never going to happen. Like what’s 30psi? 547000 Pa or something? Who the fuck knows. Or you could use bar, with a scale of 1 to 5, lol.
In what scenario is Fahrenheit more intuitive to someone who grew up with neither of the two systems?
We need a bot for that.
If there’s anyone here living in the region, remember to drink water! The best method to prevent heat exhaustion or worse is to drink small amounts of water frequently, like roughly once every 30 minutes or every time you feel thirsty (whichever happens first). When all said and done, the best indicator is the color of your urine. It should be a light yellow color.
If you’re working outside, make sure you’re also drinking something with sodium electrolytes like liquid iv or Gatorade (other drinks like Prime aren’t suitable, they pad their electrolyte count will potassium).
If at all possible, take a cold shower at the peak of the heat around noon to regulate your temperature and comfort. If you get heat exhaustion, STOP WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING AND GET INDOORS. Heat exhaustion is the first step towards heat stroke and death. You will die in heat like this if you don’t take care of yourself. Do not “tough it out” or wait “5 more minutes”.
Stay safe out there
take a cold shower
Well umm, that’s kinda the trick. In Phoenix in summertime, “cold” water is cold in name only. It’s more tepid than anything. That’s just another part of what makes it so oppressive living there in summer.
Yea, backyard pools are the norm in large swaths of the valley (Phoenix+). It’s the best way to avoid your kids burning to death if they don’t wanna go outside at midnight.
It is also a great way to stress the already stressed water ressources further, so the region will have to be depopulated earlier.
F stands for Flaffenfeit, and is a deprecated measurement system the world doesn’t use anymore, except some backwards parts of the world. 110F is equal to about 2.85 feet or 7.13 ounces if I remember correctly. For sure It’s a very clever system invented by an ancient master jokester, where nothing relates to anything in any sensible way.
You were close, but your math was a bit off. 110 Flaffenheit actually comes out to 2.87 feet and 7.47 ounces. It’s easy to make that mistake though. Not everyone understands Flaffenheit Freedom Units.
You are both correct, since 110 Flaffenheit equals both 7.13 urinal ounces and 7.47 stool ounces, as well as exactly 11 southern-hemisphere-unleaded-petrol-ounces. The latter is only incidental, though, since the conversion factor isn’t 10 but 8.97 with an added conversion constant of 11.33 Flaffenheit.
