Aussie it was extremely hot because 43 C = 109.4 F. Stay out of the heat if possible. God bless

I do know how you feel. We had record heat this past summer--many days up to 100. Just stay as cool as possible.

Multiply by 8 fifths and then add 32. About 100 degrees.
Yup. That's quite hot. Once in a while we hit that here but where my brother lives that isn't near record-breaking. Their high runs between 110 and 115. They have at least 3 months of 100 and above highs.

43C! Stay in your cave! Here on the other, north, side of the Globe it's 4C. And raining. Every day. No sun. I wish we could split and stay in between those weathers.

It was just beautiful here today, 80 deg. F. Very odd for mid-Dec. We're usually much cooler. We took advantage of this nice weather and went shopping and then out to dinner. Everywhere we went, so very crowded.

Had to get out to get my new glasses, they had made to first time I could not see out of one side of them & had to redo them, now doing better with hearing aids, glasses (my old ones) keep the pulling the out of my ears. Guess I'm getting older every day! Sound like you had a good day!

You guys are right. Nine fifths not eight fifths.
Well 109 is really hot.
My memory isn't what it used to be. When I re-derived the equation I saw my mistake.
Here's how it works.
Between freezing and boiling in Celsius is 100 degrees. Between freezing and boiling in Fahrenheit is 180 degrees. that's how many degrees between 32 and 212. (I guess the 8 in that stuck in my mind.) Make a fraction of them and you get nine fifths by which you multiply the celsius reading but then you have to add the 32 because Fahrenheit freezing is at 32 not 0.
To go from F to C you invert the fraction, multiply the reading and subtract 32.

Much too much math for me....this is where Google is extremely handy. I'll never get used to liters, etc. or Celsius. Too old to change now.

Pixipixil...You're making my brain hurt with all the math. Ouch! Thinking of Christmas is enough for today.
lilbc77....I'm with you, I am much too old to change now.
CatLadyOKC...hope it all works out for you with the new hearing aids. I got mine in the mail, but will have to wait to have them adjusted by my new hearing dr. in January. Meanwhile I have to ask people to speak up or repeat themselves. It's wicked getting old. New glasses will be next. :)) I have to go back to my derm. dr. Brandi, the meds I received are not working again. New infection settled in my fingers.
Aussiesapphire....A nice cool pink lemonade would be great on such a hot day with plenty of ice. Take good care of yourself. :)
Have a blessed evening everyone. Relax and get comfy. :) I'm going to do just that. We just got in from an evening of Christmas shopping. It was pouring out here in Central Gulf Coast, FL

I was embarassed for making that mistake is all. Sorry to have bored the bunch of you, and sorry not to have taken your weather complaint more seriously, Aussie.

No need for apologies - I usually take the lazy way out and Google the temp but just wanted to get into my woman cave that night lol. Have a wonderful Christmas with your husband, not too much egg nog and pecan pie (I remember it well!!! ). Hugs Pixi.

Thanks, Aussie. Hugs back your way. How could anyone have too much egg nog? Will have fruit cake instead of the pie. I can't eat pecans anymore. :-( Hope you can eat everything you love without tummy trouble. Have a really lovely celebration.

Mine is also. Have diabetes so have to watch it. Don't care for some of the things I have tried but keep trying new things. Every once in a while I go off the diet--I say "it's only one time".

Whoa today was the hottest December day on record, 43C, not sure what it is in F. So will be glad to shower and retreat into my woman cave lol
Good night and God bless. Hugs.
