Title: Just checked the weather...
Post by: Nickbat on 24 October 2008, 22:50:15
..for my area (London) next week.

On Wednesday, between 07.00 and 09.59, Metcheck are forecasting a maximum temperature of -1 and snow showers!!  :o :o

I know we're in for a cold period next week, but snow? Well, you never know I guess.
 
They say it should move up to a high of 5 degrees later in the morning.

I find that istill use Imperial for somethings and metric for others,I also prefer centigrade,but have no idea how far 3kms is or how much 500mls are. :)

I'm fortunate I was at school at the switchover time so can work in most measurements be them centigrade/fahrenheit, metric or imperial :)

Just got back from Glasgow. It's blowing a hoolie up there. Floods all over the place, especially obvious as we were climbing away from the airport. I left at 4:00 and it hadn't stopped raining all day.  :(

We were taught that to remember centigrade by:

 "5, 10, 21, Winter, spring and summer sun"

It has made me remember the practical difference between "F" and "C". :y :y

Don't know about anyone else on here but my brain thinks in deg C for cold temperatures and deg F for when it's hot.

I don't understand the German temperature measurement, I normally use the Swedish system and occasionally the British one.
