Understood, but C has become the universal standard.

Where you live anyway. I speak fluent celsius but people just cock
their head here when I say the water was 22.8 this morning.

Let's see. Round 22.8 up to 23; take 23, double it and add 30: 76.
Close enough for jazz.

It is really more like 73 and you would notice the 3 degrees if you
jumped in.

You're not wrong about water. However, I can't remember the
last time I immersed myself in anything but water heated
to 101 F. I'm much more interested in the air temperature.

101F!!! You only get in water hotter than yourself!? How do you lose your bodyheat? You'd eventually just melt.


Jacuzzi. I only spend about 20 minutes in it. Yesterday the water temperature
was 101 F and the air temperature was 20 F. I radiated heat through my head
and shoulders.
