  4. Kia ora Oh Hsen,

    This is great work. It looks like you'll be in for a nice week of weather while you're in Germany! I noticed that that temperatures they're using for the weather report are in degrees Fahrenheit, not Celsius (we use Celsius in NZ). Have you ever heard of those two terms before? If you haven't let me tell you a little story to help explain the difference...

    Most of the world uses degrees Celsius (including us), and it's mainly America and some other smaller countries who use fahrenheit, which is the F next to the temperature you've used.

    A long time ago, a Polish scientist invented the scale of fahrenheit, using equal parts salt and water to make the temperature of 0 degrees on the thermometer. Then he used the average human temperature to make the high point of 96 degrees. And that is how the thermometre was marked so people could tell what the temperature was. Sounds a bit strange, right?

    Celsius, our measurement, was made because a scientist thought 'Fahrenheit is illogical. Salt water, human body heat? What do they have to do with anything? Why don't we just use the freezing and boiling points of something easy, like water?' and so he made ANOTHER scale on thermometres called degrees Celsius!

    And that's what we use today! So 0 degree Celsius is when it is so cold that the when water freezes, and 100 degrees Celsius is when water boils. Cool eh? In fahrenheit those are 32 and 212. Such random numbers!

    I hope that was interesting. I think it's a cool story!

    Can't wait to see your next blog!

    Cheers,
    Dan.
