We are lucky that the Family put the water out for us. It is a pity that they don't give us a bigger bath though.

Sam was talking about temperature and this is usually quoted in either FAHRENHEIT or CENTIGRADE (or CELSIUS)

The FAHRENHEIT scale was developed by a German called Fahrenheit and the CENTIGRADE scale was developed by a Swede called Celsius

Name of Scale	Freezing point of water	Boiling point of water
Fahrenheit	32° F	212° F
Centigrade	0° C	100° C

The weather people will often give both sets of numbers but you can convert from one scale to the other.

then multiply by 5 then divide by 9

FAHRENHEIT  =   CENTIGRADE multiplied by 9 then divide by 5 then add 32

The temperature here last week was 29° C or 84.2° F, so you can tell it was very hot.


See you again.
