A temperature chart for my fellow Americans who can’t do the Celsius-Fahrenheit equation from memory and for people in the civilized countries who’re too busy making fun of Fahrenheit to do the conversions themselves.

51C is not a common Aussie temp like you’d die wtf

You’re quite right, it’s not common at all. It’s just that I wanted to find a world record high temperature from somewhere other than the United States. I had grown up being taught that the other highest temperature was one recorded at ‘Aziziyah, Libya, but when I tried to verify that one I found that the World Meteorological Organization had decided that the record there was no longer considered a valid one. The next highest temperature considered valid was 50.7 degrees C, recorded in Oodnadatta, South Australia, in 1960. So that’s why 51 degrees C means you’re in Australia on this chart.
