NOAA forecasters monitoring oceanic and atmospheric patterns say conditions are now more favorable for above-normal hurricane activity since El Nino has now ended. Two named storms have formed so far this year and the peak months of the hurricane season, August through October, are now underway.

Yeah, there's a number of loving insane tornado videos that prove we're as dumb as everyone else when it comes to extreme weather.

They've gotten way better though. Wasn't this last heatwave worse than the 2002 one, but a ton fewer people died? I assume since their governments aren't averse to actually solving problems, they've beefed up social services and cooling centers to make sure the highest risk people are safe.

growing up my fam had one a/c and it was in my room cause i was a dumb kid and we only used it on days when it was 90 degrees inside
then my mom got central installed and now she wont spend a single second outside of it and thinks me having one window unit for my apartment is dumb.

I'm sure Celsius seemed like a good idea when it never got hot, so you invented a system that made winters sound worse than they are. But now you guys are getting hot summers and you're hosed because you have to be like, "Oh my god it's 34 degrees out there!"

The European obsession with water changing state, and the subsequent belief that all systems of measurement should be based on it, will never cease to baffle me.

celsius makes sense for chemistry and stuff

but fahrenheit far better suited to being a general scale for representing the range of temperatures naturally present on the earth's surface

Kelvin is the best system. Starts at absolute zero (duh, what's with this negatives bullshit?) and there are 100 Kelvins between freezing water (273.16 K) and boiling water (373.16 K). So simple!

quote:

In Rmer's scale, brine freezes at zero, water freezes and melts at 7.5 degrees, body temperature is 22.5, and water boils at 60 degrees. Fahrenheit multiplied each value by four in order to eliminate fractions and make the scale more fine-grained. He then re-calibrated his scale using the melting point of ice and normal human body temperature (which were at 30 and 90 degrees); he adjusted the scale so that the melting point of ice would be 32 degrees and body temperature 96 degrees, so that 64 intervals would separate the two, allowing him to mark degree lines on his instruments by simply bisecting the interval six times (since 64 is 2 to the sixth power).

In the present-day Fahrenheit scale, 0 F no longer corresponds to the eutectic temperature of ammonium chloride brine as described above. Instead, that eutectic is at approximately 4 F on the final Fahrenheit scale.

yeah a range of 10 degrees which describes temperatures experienced on earth totally makes sense. NOT
