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

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

This... This is art

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

Gotta love the 18 peta-kelvin wind "chill". Just for fun, air at that temperature would have an average particle velocity of around 99.994% the speed of light, and just one kilogram of it would have the energy of roughly 35 Tsar Bombas.

Thoughts and prayers for the rest of Canada and surrounding hemisphere, I suppose.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

it's a dry heat, nbd.

^Feels like : is this the big bang?°^

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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).

For the Americans, that's about 89ºF

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

it's about the amount of their national debt

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

That wind chill really kicks it up a notch.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

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