That's still 45 degrees Fahrenheit. They were talking about outside temperature, not core temperature.
I'm also questioning if you have a sense of either temperature scale. It's quite funny to think that it could reach 45 C in England at all, much less that people would freeze to death in it.
- corin_ 14y agoMy bad, of course you're right. And no, not a great sense of temperature scales - in the UK I pay attention when it's down around freezing (in Celsius) and in LA I pay attention when it's hot, 100+ in Fahrenheit. Other than those two occasions I guess I don't really notice or care. Edit: funnily enough, 45C turns out to be the hottest temperature I've personally experienced, the day LA set it's record high in September 2010.
- pyre 14y agoEasiest way to do off-the-cuff conversions: - Celsius scale is based on water freezing at 0C and boiling at 100C. That's 32F and 212F, respectively. - 45C is about halfway between 0C and 100C, so it's about halfway between 32F and 212F. - Normal body temp 98.7F or 36C. - Also -40C == -40F. I looked this up once because I was out on a day that where the wind chill was -40F. I thought that I did something wrong when the conversion came out exactly the same. ;-)
- mikeash 14y agoF = C * 2 + 30 Gets you to within a couple of degrees for commonly experienced temperatures, plenty close enough for most purposes. 45C ~= 120F. The true value is 113F.
