What temperature scale does your nation use?

Postby Romili » Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:31 am

My nation Romili uses the drispeo scale invented by Eternal Emperor Owen I. To convert celcius to drispeo you take away 10 and times by 5.
Celcius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin and Rankine are also used.

Mimic's temperature scale (the leergahk) is extremely simple to use and understand. Take the base Kelvin amount. Multiply by three. Subtract eight. Raise the result to the ninth power. Take the natural logarithm of this. Take the arcsine of the resulting number and add 2. Divide by the year to date's total precipitation. Take the square root of the standard deviation of your result, subtract thirty, and then multiply it by the cube root of the derivative of the tangent of the outside wind speed in meters per second. I expect most of you will be able to follow the calculations easily in your head.

My real-life nation uses Celsius.

Celsius is the main scale, however Fahrenheit is often present as a second scale for foreigners.

We use Celsius. (We rarely use Fahrenheit.)
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Fahrenheit is used in the Federal Republic. We like it that way.
