Hot weather during Wimbledon, well there's a rarity.!

I'm in Washington DC this week and it's hot in t'colonies. 90 degrees warm in old money (sorry we don't do centigrade over here at all) and 90% humidity,which is an unpleasant but fairly typical summer combination :goodbye:

Ha ! nolonger do we do centigrade,
don'y'know they furrigners changed it to Celsius ( degrees Celsius °C ) a wee while back,
then they took it upon themselves to adopt Kelvin as the SI unit of temperature,
(mark you, not degrees Kelvin, no little circle needed, just Kelvin, symbol a plain K ! )
harumpf.
Système International d'Unités, I think they call themselves, somewhere in Paris or, well over there somewhere.

Well you mentioned the subject ! Do try to keep up in the colonies over there   :laugh3: :laugh: :bounce:

Me, at home in the garden, in SW England,  I know it will be beginning to get comfortable at anywhere over 70F :) should I be so lucky, it wont last :(

Summer = a couple of hot days and a thunderstorm , usually.

actually, you made me chuckle on two fronts, at home and in the lab.

Cos I was brung up in the dark days when dinosaurs roamed the wild,
I was (am) happy at home in F, and I know when it is safe to go out without my longjons in summer if it is in F,
but at work it didnt make sense if it wasnt in C or K
that's why I ended up a schizophrenic and dyslexicule :)

Basinga I can top you on that one 62.8C in full kit but that's a different story.

Apart from those who sadly suffer more than most in the heat (that doesn't mean been sweaty or more than usual in some cases  :confused1: )

Embrace it come the next bank holiday weekend it will  been glorious all through the traffic jams until you arrive at you weekend get away then it will  :censored: it down!!

Nowt wrong with kelvin, that's a proper British measurement  (and before anyone jumps in with "he was Scottish not British", he was actually born in Belfast  :P)

Well, Summer was nice while it lasted. Weather forecast says thunderstorms overnight at my lovely hometown, followed by torrential rain tomorrow morning. Aaah, the British weather :)

Not long to go now till that will become a common phrase ! ;)
That will cause the Americans some problems, they have enough trouble distinguishing the English from British !!
Quotehe was actually born in Belfast 
I never knew that, quite an educational forum this place :)  :NGaugersRule:
