I'm curious as to why the United States still hasn't converted to Celsius Temperature Measurement like, oh I don't know, The Entire Rest Of The World? Really nothing could be easier to understand. Here's a primer:

- 40 degrees Celsius is really fucking cold!

- 30 degrees Celsius is very cold!

- 20 degrees Celsius is an average cold Winter day.

- 10 degrees Celsius is a pleasant Winter day.

0 degrees Celsius is when water freezes.

+ 10 degrees Celsius is a coolish Spring or Fall day.

+ 20 degrees Celsius is a warm Summer day.

+ 30 degrees Celsius is a hot Summer day.

+ 40 degrees Celsius is really fucking hot!

+100 degrees Celsius is when water boils.

What could be easier? Canada changed to Celsius in the mid-Seventies and by the mid-Eighties only old farts were still saying "What's that in Fahrenheit?" All you have to do is think of what the temperature feels like and experience it.



who cares, don't worry about how countries measure temperature

Wouldn't it be easier for international pilots to have a universal measurement for the weather? Or do American Air Traffic Controllers already use Celsius?

All aviation uses celsius

Thank You. Would they all have the plane's fuel tanks measured in metric? Because I remember a number of years ago a plane went down because the pilot made a mistake converting.

but...you already told them. wink

now what would really be funny is their reaction to diameter versus length.
