Record information – Details Fonds/collection:CANADA. AGRICULTURE CANADAAccession:1978-0095Media:SoundRelease date:1975-01 ?Production company:Information Services of Agriculture CanadaProduction credit:reporter, Barbara HaireDescription:If the weatherman forecasts a temperature of 30 Celsius would you pack a picnic basket or haul out the winter coat? A picnic would be more appropriate since 30 C is what we now know as 86 F. This new scale of temperature measurement is called "Celsius"! Under this system, 0 C is the same as 32 F or the freezing point of water. 100 C is the same as 212 F or the boiling point of water. Comfortable room temperature is now 22 C instead of 72 F. If the temperature is 15 C you'll probably need a sweater since this is just on the cool side. Fall coats likely won't be needed until the temperature reaches 8 C. That prime rib roast you pop in the oven at 325 F will now cook in the same way at 160 C. Or for those of us who are more likely to be reheating a frozen chicken pie at 425 F, the Celsius equivalent would be 220 C. <1mn 6s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
