Since I've been asked... The above is a snippet from IRC. EBBR is the code for Zaventem airport (more commonly known as Brussels International). There is a timestamp of when the weather conditions were retrieved, then a fairly simple list of basic conditions. As this is about 5 minutes away from me I can say, yes, clear skies, bloody freezing, and very little wind. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Review revision 749005[edit]

Huh?[edit]

"This was combined with freezing, Arctic-like temperatures ranging from -5° Celsius (23° Fahrenheit) to -5°C (14°F) in the United Kingdom and France,"

From -5° Celcius to -5°C? That's the same damned thing; which one of the Fahrenheit measures, which I assume to be correct, actually corresponds to -5°C?

Umm[edit]

Isn't this known as "Winter"? - 86.128.191.205 16:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
