it's raining hot death in Minnesota

Turns out it was just a glitch with my weather app. It's only 109°

Water boils at 100°, your app is glitching hard.

It's Minnesota in the US, so pretty sure it's in Fahrenheit. Though it should be like, 40° F there (4.4° C)

Looks like it might have thought 40°F was 40°C, and converted it again to F then

I just checked as well and was confused.

My colleagues live in that state and was about to reach out.

We're good

We use Fahrenheit here. But it's a moist heat

Not in freedom units! Here in the land of the free! water boils at 212°

Mine had the same glitch this morning, but mine said it was a high of 176°F, but that seems on par for Texas.

Yes, but it only feels 117. A brisk wind.

boonhet@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

The feels like temp at these temps should be above the actual temp as soon as there's a brisk wind tbh.

Oof. Is that rain at 10? What's the humidity like?

rugburn@lemmynsfw.com · 8 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Eleventy-billion percent humidity

Damn, remind me again why you live in Minnesota?

The three days a year where you can...

Fuck it, I got nothin.

Sorry to hijack this post but if anyone needs a great weather app for Android, I highly recommend you check out Breezy. It's on f-droid.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I thought I tried every weather app on F droid, but never saw Breezy. Extremely impressed with it, easily the best on F-droid, and better than 99% of apps on the playstore.

I think the Weawow app (closed source and playstore/aurora only)still edges it out, but only slightly. Heavily considering switching to Breezy.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Glad you like it! Breezy was the first one I actually liked from f-droid.

What weather app is that?

joyjoy@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Default Samsung weather app, powered by weather channel.

Cris_Color@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Interesting, thanks!

Whatever the stock one is for Galaxy phones lol. It's properly "Minnesota-d" now

I had a similar thing today. My app (looks just like this one) told me it was currently 138 degrees out. I thought I might need to stay inside today.

fitjazz@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 1y

My wife texted me earlier saying it was a good thing I was out of town. Hers said it was currently 118° with a high of 124°. It barely got into the 60s today.
