Today at Morro Bay was very different to the summer like days of the last two weeks. Today It was downright frigid, and getting socked in. That said, it was still a good opportunity to fly the DJI Air 2S around the Bay.

global warming is not the same as weather.

We are experiencing serious consequences of climate change in the West, just because I commented on how one day felt is little reason to trigger your skeptical sarcasm.What you might be experiencing in your Canadian Winter might be quite different to what others witness.

We have a serious continuing drought in the West with little sign of relief. What rain has fallen in California this year has done little to replenish the reservoirs. The dams which depend on spring snow melt from the Winter snow pack have seen little to no snow in the Sierras. The ski resorts in the Sierras, and other parts of the West have seen little to no snow, and many of those which use man made snow have not been able to use their machines due to high temperatures.

<https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/12/03/snow-water-resources-california/>

So yes we have global warming, and I was complaining about an unusually frigid 47ºF when lately we have been experiencing unseasonal temperatures in the 74-82ºF range.

I guess you missed my bit of hyperbolic sarcasm. I do know what truly

Perfect, but unseasonal.

Bloody Fahrenheit all I can quickly work out is how warmer or colder it is to the typical
temerature of developer I used which was 20C = 68f
So around 1C up or down is about 2f up or down around the 20C
but after about 10 C it gets a bit more difficult !

Why the USA and a few other remaining countries still us F , I don't really know,
maybe something to do with old dogs and new tricks.... :-)

A quick way -
F -> C
* Take degs F (let's say 100° because that's what it feels like here today)
* Subtract 30 (yes I know it's supposed to be 32 but this is something to do in your head) - 70
* Halve it - 35
* Add 10% (3.5 rounded however you want) = 38-ish.
(The 'real' answer is 37.7°C)
Close enough for government work.

For our Trans-Atlantic/Pacific cousins who still use F, the other way is
C->F
* Take degs C (say 10C)
* Double it - 20
* Take off 10% - 20-2 = 18
* Add 32 (or 30 if your mental gymnastic ability is getting old) = 50°F

Easy! :-)

Cheers,
Magani

Why not use C like most of the world, it makes more sense
0C freezing point of water 100C boiling point of water , pretty easy.
of coure ideally we'd use kelvin

what's even easier is f, which is designed for humans.

0f is really cold and 100f is really hot.

that's much easier than remembering -17c and 38c, which to humans is
totally arbitrary.

Yes, we know; which is why any weather event is discounted from data UNLESS it supports "the agenda."
This is also why the clowns screech "global warming" when there is a 100 year storm, because it's just "weather?"

To Hell with it!

I post my drone video work to this NG much as I did my photography, I thought it might be of some interest to somebody in the world of digital imagery/photography/videography. Unfortunately you seem to be more interested in the world of mind-fuckery.

I used Fahrenheit because that is how temperatures are reported here.Sometimes I might state both ºF and ºC sometimes not. If you have a problem with that I really don’t care.

Perhaps, but I enjoy the drive to Morro Bay, and the opportunity to fly it affords me.

I will see what other locations i can dig up. Unfortunately my travelingof late has been limited, so I deliver what is convenient for me.

For Facebook users, can I suggest "Isle of Man by Drone", particularly

YMMV but in the UK the local groups can be very useful for things like
lost and found cats, dogs, and keys, information about road closures,
bus cancellations (a big thing at the moment since our local company
can't get enough drivers even without Covid, and some people rely on
them for getting to work or school). You may have other platforms.

My filters & kill file have given me aUseNet experience mostly free of “Boater Dave”. Thread hijacking was/is one of his typical M.O.s. The only time I see one of his scribblings now, is if it is quoted in an unwitting response.
