From the 'Yesterday's Weather' page on the BBC Weather Pages
Dan Corbett writes "Mild air from the southern Atlantic flowing across the UK helped push afternoon highs well into the upper teens (61-66F) across much of Britain. The warmest spot by late afternoon was 20C (68F) at Credenhill (Herefordshire). This is almost double the normal highs for late October of 10-14C (50-57F)." The last sentence speaks volumes. 20 degC is not double 10 degC. The man needs a good talking to. Dave in Ferryhill, Co. Durham http://nediary.blogspot.com |

I hope not because -273K does not exist, what with 0K being absolute zero. 0C is +273.15K 0K is -273.15C -- Gianna |

The last sentence speaks volumes. 20 degC is not double 10 degC. The man needs a good talking to. But the sad thing is, as a professional meteorologist he must surely know this. The only conclusion one can draw is that he considers people too stupid to understand and thinks that his forecast makes more of an 'impact' if he throws in an impressive sounding 'fact' that today's temperature is 'double' the norm. He's not the first, though.... -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |
