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.
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.
Imagine your personality revolving around making fun of a measurement system
Ah yes, it’s the easy life, because Freedom units are making fun of themselves, just being what they are.
You get to be the first person I blocked on this site who didn’t say something to me first.
it was based on mercury actually, and caught on because it came very precise instruction on how to build and test a F thermometer
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.
Ah yes, if you use the Freedom Units revised version the feet and ounces are smaller. I think those were measured after a new president to make him look more impressive on paper.
Sorry to use the older scale, my mistake.
It makes sense if you think about it as a thermometer manufacturer. Dividing things in half with lines is easy to do, so the gap between freezing and quite hot is an exact power of 2. (32 -> 96). as is the gap between 0 and freezing
Yes because dividing the scale equally, is the biggest challenge of making a thermometer. Who came up with that lame argument?
Oh I forgot, maybe using freedom units it is. 🤣🤣🤣
Celsius and Fahrenheit have nearly identical definitions.
In Fahrenheit, 0 is the temp of a mixture of ice and a particular brine. In Celsius, it’s the temp of a mixture of ice and water.
In Fahrenheit, there’s 180 degrees between boiling and freezing. In Celsius, it’s 100.
It’s not like distance, where mile comes from the Latin “mille passus”, “thousand paces”. Originally, Roman legions would place mile markers on roads by literally counting out their steps and placing them appropriately.
Meanwhile, a kilometer is a thousand meters, where a meter was originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle.
Mile and kilometer are defined based on competely different things - a human step vs the circumference of the earth.
All that may be true, but doesn’t account for the way metric allows for easy calculations between energy, weight, distance and temperature.
Freedom units are not even consistent within one system, weights are all over the place, with ounces pounds stones, length is just as bad, with inches, feet and miles. Where none of it makes any sense.
Metric is quite simply a way superior system to freedom units, that work as well as if it was made completely random. No actually it’s probably worth, because NOTHING works in freedom units, if they were random, there might actually have been a case or two where they did by accident.
How often do you do conversions like that.
Don’t you trample on my freedumbs!
Sorry, but freedom Units are just too hilarious to not make fun of.
