It's not the 15512°C heat, it's the 18989268000000000° wind chill that gets you.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

that's because of the 6.02*10^23 humidity

If you can’t take the heat, get out of Kitchener….

DAMN IT I WAS 52 MINUTES LATE

Or when the heat gets to be too much ... just change the name of the city

Last time it got hot .... it used to be called Berlin, Ontario

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 months ago

The snow and wind will counter the heat. All good.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Sure it’s a balmy 15,512°C, but it’s really the solar wind burns that get ya.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

^Feels like : is this the big bang?°^

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The surface of the sun is around 10,000°C; that solar wind would be positively chilly.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

It's more like 6000°C. But the corona's much hotter, and the solar winds originate from there. The temperature of the solar wind is estimated to be 100,000° - 800,000°, depending on the type (slow vs fast).

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Make sure you guys get some sun block. At least 30 SPF, OK?

For the Americans, that's about 89ºF

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it's about the amount of their national debt

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Could be anything from malfunctioning sensors or possibly typos, pretty common problem with weather forecasts. Example.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

That wind chill really kicks it up a notch.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

That's the low... Imagine what the high is.
