The method I vaguely recall from Post Secondary Tech School:
Celsius to Fahrenheit: (Deg C x 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius: (Deg F-32) x 5/9
.....or you just download Josh Madison's Unit Converter
Convert is a free and easy to use unit conversion program that will convert many of the most popular units.
**Or, if you have a Scientific Calculator with SOLVER mode, you can load the formulas up, after which you just plug in the known value, and it will do all the heavy liftingLast edited by Tubbed Pacecar; June 30, 2021, 05:41 PM.

Definitely not typical, and well above the seasonal averages, hopefully it doesn't drag on too long!! I woke up on the couch @ 2:00 AM last night SOAKED, went and pounded back a couple glasses of water, and sat down at my desktop PC, it was still 26 Deg C (78.8 F), which would be above what would be a normal daytime high around here. And when I got up @ 6:30, it was still 23 Deg C (73.4 F).
Seems like a day here or there is tolerable, but when you string a good number of consecutive days together, the buildings get heat-soaked, andalong with the overnight highs, the interior temps get way out of hand. it's shortly after 6:00 PM here, and the temp inside my house ATM is 32.8 Deg C (91 F)
Although the BC Okanagan is a much warmer climate than where I'm at, I still feel for them, with temps into the 40's (40 Deg C = 104 F)

Easy to do in your head.
and the worst day was Monday.... 112* in the shade at 80% humidity. For context, Atlanta, GA has never had that level of heat and humidity at once.
But today, it was 68 degrees when I was driving in for work...might hit 80 this afternoon.... thank heavens.

it hit 110 on my deck, but that's direct sun
