Temperature (T) degrees Celsius (oC) arbitrary
scale from 0oC at melting point of ice to 100oC at
boiling point of water
Also (Kelvin, K) = oC plus 273.15
0 K is absolute zero, the minimum possible
temperature
Americans and Telegraph readers tend to use
oF

The human body has an energy balance just like the
Earth (solar radiative heating, thermal radiative
heating/cooling, evaporative cooling (sweat))
although this is complicated by drinking tea. Wind
makes us cool because it increases the flow of
energy from the body through evaporation (sweat)
