He is absolutely correct. 3 degrees C =5 degrees F (add 32F) and voila 37 degrees F.
I will leave the 9+32 degrees F for you to calculate.
No, the article states a temperature DIFFERENCE and not a measured temperature. A difference of 3 degrees C = 4.8 degrees F and a difference of 5 degrees C = 9 degrees F. The term “32” is NOT part of the equation when we speak of temperature DIFFERENCE. For instance, a temperature difference of 10 degrees C equals 10 times 1.8 = 18 degreesF.
Whoa hoss — a difference of 5 degrees C is equivalent to a difference of 9 degrees F.
And then you said...
He is absolutely correct. 3 degrees C =5 degrees F (add 32F) and voila 37 degrees F.
Sorry, but that's wrong... :-)
1 °C = 1.8 °F
So, 5 °C = 9.0 °F
Thus, a change of 3-5 °C is a change of 5.4-9 °F
And that's the absolute truth of the matter... :-)
I will leave the 9+32 degrees F for you to calculate.
Wrong. The article says it was 3 to 5 degrees WARMER, he didn't say it was 3 to 5 degrees out. The way the sentence reads he was saying it was 37 to 41 degrees F warmer than today, when he should have said it was 5 to 9 degrees F warmer. 353FMG is absolutely correct in calling the guy on this one.
