30 C is about 86 F.
To calculate from Celcius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9, divide by 5 then add
32.
To go from Fahrenheit to Celcius, subtract 32, multiply by 5, then divide by
9.
I must say, I also always have a quiet laugh when people complain about
"high humidity" and they're talking about 50-60%. Over here in summer we
can get days where the temperature is in the high 20's - low 30's (80F -
90F), but the humidity can be as high as 90-95% - and it lasts all day and
night. Now that's unbearable! And most people over here don't have
air-conditioning in their homes, so it's a case of opening every window in
the house, and turning on every fan. Either that, or just sit in a swimming
pool somewhere! Mind you, when the humidity is that high, it's like having
a warm shower all day anyway! Yuck!
