Some of us are aware that -40° Celsius is also -40° Fahrenheit. It's the only point where the two scales agree.

But did you know there are palindrome temperatures and they're very useful also!

16° Celsius = 61° Fahrenheit
28° Celsius = 82° Fahrenheit

@atoponce I try to use Kelvin every time I talk with someone over in your part of the world so there is no mistake between °C and °F

@morticah @atoponce well, °K and °C are quite the same except for the + 273,15° shift. Fahrenheit is still a mistery to me !

@alci @morticah @atoponce I've heard it said

Celsius is how water feels
Fahrenheit is how people feel
Kelvin is how molecules feel

@cjust

Fahrenheit is how Americans feel. If you don't use it then -10 to 30°C does a fine job of how people feel. Not that I'm saying Americans aren't people. 😀
