I think it'd be like 24 degrees C or something close to that.

Sir ReGiN · 11-06-2001, 01:29 PM

Aaaaah...24 degrees...

You're a really lucky man Milamber! [img]smile.gif[/img]

24 degrees!! And here it's about 10 degrees! Let's switch places

You guys may have to worry about cold weather, but here in Cuba it never gets below 60F, even at night. Instead it rains during the fall and winter. Today's the first sunny day in 10, count them 10 days!

Around here in Texas the highs have been near 80 degrees (around 27 C as well)...short sleeve weather. We'll start getting some "cool" weather in a couple of weeks...of course, to us, any time the temp gets down near freezing, that's cold to us!

Cheers,

Amen Saz!
I wasn't going to brag about how warm it is here right now (hot enough to use the AC in the car on the way home from school

) but I know when it gets down into the low 50's (no where near freezing LOL) I'll be pulling out the sweaters and coats.

That gets to be a drag after a while doesn't it?
It was almost the same way during my winter in Hawaii. Lots of sunny warm days (in the 80's), but a lot of rain and moisture, to the point where even the nicest days had mist in the air.

It is an oldie, but for those of you who have not seen this before, here is my take on relative weather tolerances [img]smile.gif[/img]

50 degrees-New Yorkers turn on the heat.
People in Scotland plant gardens.

40 degrees-Californians shiver uncontrollably.
People in Scotland sunbathe.

35 degrees-Italian cars won't start.
People in Scotland drive with the windows down.

20 degrees-Floridians wear coats, gloves, and wool hats.
People in Scotland throw on a T-shirt

15 degrees-Californians begin to evacuate the state.
People in Scotland go swimming.

Zero degrees-New York landlords finally turn up the heat.
People in Scotland have the last bbq before it gets cold.

10 degrees below zero-People in Miami cease to exist.
People in Scotland lick flagpoles.

20 degrees below zero-Californians fly away to Mexico.
People in Scotland throw on a light jacket.

80 degrees below zero-Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic.
Scottish Boy Scouts postpone "Winter Survival" classes until it gets cold
enough.

100 degrees below zero-Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.
People in Scotland pull down their ear flaps.

173 degrees below zero-Ethyl alcohol freezes.
People in Scotland get frustrated when they can't thaw their kegs.

297 degrees below zero-Microbial life start to disappear.
Scottish cows complain of farmers with cold hands.

460 degrees below zero-ALL atomic motion stops.
People in Scotland start saying "chilly, you cold as well?"

500 degrees below zero-Hell freezes over.

Oh, and btw, the older I get, the less I like cold weather as well.......

And here in Greece we've goty low temperature! Yesterday the lowest temperature was 5 degrees, which is pretty low for my country.

Well so much for things being nice & warm here in South Central Texas!
Yesterday I had to use the AC coming home from school again.
Today, I needed the heat!
Overnight, temps dropped and rain poured down...its all wet and chilly outside today. The high is only supposed to reach 65 F.
(Sorry for you C folks, I can't get the F to C converter to come up online anymore! Whatever it works out to be, its too cold for me!)
