He's reading a Canadian thermometer. That's what the "C" stands for. I
have no idea what hpa is. 93 % means it's raining like cats and dogs.
Did you know that -17.7 degrees Canadian is 0 degrees American?


and -40C and -40F are the same thing?



I didn't know that.

Now you do.

Next up: The Kelvin scale.

Here's the question:

Is there a 40 degrees Kelvin?

Correct. Many incorrectly say "something degrees K".

Unlike the degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius, the kelvin is not
referred to as a "degree", nor is it typeset with a degree symbol; that
is, it is written K and n

Depends on how you look at it.

Kelvin is a unit by and of it'self because it's an absolute value -
not relative. Absolute zero is absolute zero. In that sense, it has
no relevance to anything but it'self therefore there is no such thing
as a "degree" - a Kelvin is a Kelvin.

However, it is a measure of temperature in relative terms as compared
to other units of measure - like Celcius. Using degree in conjunction
with Kelvin is acceptable in reference to other measurement standards.

Or so I've been told. :)
