Carleton From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Han Maenen Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 14:49 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:47505] Fahrenheit as a summer phenomenon Look at this item from the Belfast Telegraph about summer warmth in Northern Ireland; the paper talks about the low 70s and also read the last comment on that page by 'Ulsterman'. You can mark that comment as finger up (which I did) or finger down. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/sunsational-ulster-to- bask-in--new-heatwave-14826951.html In The Netherlands it has been about 27 degrees or 300 K today.
