Saturday’s temperature had triggered an excessive heat warning across Arizona as lows were expected to range between 80F and 86F
On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced that the temperature at Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport reached 110F, making it the 54th day this year with temperatures of at least 110F.
Saturday’s temperature breaks the previous record of 53 days that was set in 2020. From 1991 to 2020, the average consecutive days of 110F or above is 21 days, the NWS said.
An excessive heat warning has been issued for south central and south-west Arizona until 8pm on Sunday as weekend highs are expected to range between 108F and 114F. Meanwhile, lows are expected to range between 80F to 86F.
The SI unit of temperature is kelvin, not Celsius.
If people don’t want to use kelvin, does that mean they are stupid?
True, but Kelvin is based on Celsius, only difference is that zero is moved from freezing water to absolute zero. Celsius however is more practical for everyday life.
Celsius is only practical if you measure the temperature of water more often than the temperature of air.
But most people never measure the temperature of water, and frequently measure the temperature of air. For them, Celsius offers no advantage.
Why? As I see it, it’s quite practical for air too, epecially when considering humidity.
A scale that typically goes from -20 to 40 is less practical than a scale that typically goes from 0 to 100.
Humidity is irrelevant. Celsius is useful only when measuring the liquid phase of water.
