Seems odd to convert it to a less precise scale (as an integer) and then convert it back to the now less exact F reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 This is how pathetic things are wx wise when we have pages of posts to monitor DCA 90° temps. Don’t worry. I’m rooting for torch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted_Trough Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 This is the lamest heatwave ever. It doesn't deserve to go into the annals of history. Please hold at 89 and end it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not imagined this one isn't all that intense so far... did start earlier than many. 2011 sucked. I'm surprised we don't have a 2010 streak in there. Bad luck I guess.

Absolutely. It’s pretty amazing how much the catalytic converter changed auto emissions. Haven't those been mandatory since the mid-70s? They certainly made a big difference, but I think the improvements we've seen in the past 20+ years have much more to do with the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act than anything else. Those regulations targeted the big commercial and industrial pollution emitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
