The higher-than-normal sea surface temperatures off the coasts of the Sunshine State could cause a "nasty" coral bleaching event, experts say.

    As an American this is how I interpret Celsius

    • 100 is boiling
    • 50 is you’re gonna die from heat exhaustion eventually
    • 40 is hot
    • 30 is a little warm
    • 20 is a little cool
    • 10 is cold
    • 0 is freezing

      As a Norwegian:

      • 100 is boiling
      • 40 is we all gonna die
      • 30 is hot
      • 20 is a little warm
      • 10 is a little cool
      • 0 is cold
      • -5 is maybe time for a jacket
      • -10 shit, it’s freezingly cold outside!
      • -15 I’ll stay indoors if I can

      I regularly convert between the two just by remembering the conversions for 10, 20, 30, and 40. It’s actually pretty easy.

      • 0C is 32F (of course)
      • 10C is 50F
      • 20C is 68F (a cool room temp)
      • 30C is 86F (reciprocal of 20)
      • 40C is 104F

      If you ever forget what one of them is, then just add 18F for every 10C from the last one you remember.

      Metric:

      10 mm = 1cm, 100 cm = 1m, 1000 mm = 1m, 1000m = 1 km.

      1 cm3 water = 1 gram

      1 Watt heats 1 gram of water 1 C°

      1 dm3 water = liter = 1 kg

      1 m3 = 1000 kg = 1 tonne

      Imperial:

      1 mile = ?? yards = ?? feet = ?? inches

      1 ton = ?? stone = ??punds = ?? oz = ?? grain

      1 Galon = ?? pints = ?? fluid ounce

      1 inch3 = ?? grain = ?? power to heat ?? fahrenheit

      There is no system to any of these, they are unscientific and impractical.

      How does Imperial still have any relevance as a measurement system?
