The relationship between cricket chirping and temperature has been noted for a long time. In Western science, it is called Dolbear’s law after the most widely referenced early publication on the phenomenon published in 1897 by Amos Dolbear. His observations showed that you can count the number of chirps per 15 seconds, add 40, and that will give you the temperature in Fahrenheit (F).

Dolbear's law

Temperature (F) = number of cricket chirps in 15 seconds + 40

There is of course no calculation for Celcius but NOAA offers help:

To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, subtract 32 from it and then multiply by 5/9:

°C = (F - 32) * 5/9

Weirdos xD

#Morgen is het de 21e van #juni.
Boven een of andere #kring is dat de langste dag die we kennen. Wat betekent dit?
Dat er extra #zonlicht zal zijn.

De #weersvoorspellingen #claimen dat er veel #zon zal zijn en dat de #temperaturen boven de 31 graden #Celcius zullen komen, plaatselijk tenminste.

Nu #weet ik ook niet wat er allemaal gaat komen. #Tegelijkertijd weet ik dat wat er ook #gebeurt, het #proces #bewaakt dient te worden.

#Denk daaraan indien je het #bizarre ziet. Is dit allemaal #echt?

My attitude is a reflection of my awesomeness😜😶‍🌫️

Here's one just for laughs, might delete later 😇

I like this scale for #celcius:
0°C is freezing (32°F)
10°C is chilly (50°F)
20°C is comfortable (68°F)
30°C is hot (82°F)
40°C is effing hot (104°F)

Once again #metric makes it easy...and I sure wish we used it in #USA.

The #dossier was due at 4:30 pm and the online system was set to auto-upload and boot you out whether done or not. I submitted it at 3:10 pm. I was still making charts and writing my conclusion and leadership portions this morning/afternoon. It’s out of my hands now. Two #celcius energy drinks and 3 hours and 20 minutes of sleep. I napped for 30 mins and am now feeling both at peace and antsy. Just fired up #Bodkin on #Netflix. Time to veg out. 🤙🏽 #tenureTrack #adrenalineRush
Here's a post especially for Americans to explain the Celsius temperature scale:
Celcius is easy to explain:
-10ºC = Brass balls weather (ie. freeze the balls off one)
0ºC = freezing
10ºC = cold
20ºC = warm
30ºC = hot
40ºC = too hot
50ºC = scalding hot
60ºC = you die
70ºC = you're well done (as in cooked)
80ºC = your alcohol has evaporated
90ºC = you can make a good cup of coffee
100ºC = water boils

If anyone intends to clearly communicate about Climate Change they must use both Celcius and Fahrenheit when discussing it. Otherwise those in the U.S. won't fully grasp the issue since celcius is foreign to them.

Let's start using C/F in all of our communication to reach everyone.

Re: LB:

I will die on the hill of Celsius/Centigrade being by far the superior measuring system.

Except when discussing weather temperatures, where Fahrenheit is the long favorite.

In °F, relative to humans: 0° is a fucking cold day. 100° is a fucking hot day.. It's easy to intuit how comfortable a day's gonna be.

The equivalent °C are -17.778° and 37.778°. It's maddening. Kelvin has its uses as well, but you would use it to measure daily temperature on Earth!
