It's a full ten degrees Fahrenheit cooler than yesterday, but still quite uncomfortable (at least for me). Thunderstorms expected later today.

I'm not sure when the switch came for me from knowing things primarily in imperial measurements, to knowing and using both, to now when I translate anything I see in imperial into metric. I've rented a bike here in the UK, and whenever I see a sign in miles I have to mentally translate to kms. That;s quite a new phase, I used to be equally comfortable in both.

Yeah, 1m80 and 90kg is a BMI of ~27.5 for a male, with some variation of age/gender/ethnic group. 25-30 is classed as overweight as I know all too well from running my numbers through it, those being pretty well exactly 1m80 and 90kg! If we are taking 'skinny' to be underweight, then a 40 year old male would need to be less than 60kg to class as that.

We had a big thunderstorm this afternoon, and I think more expected for tomorrow. Hoping that it breaks this heatwave for a while.
Teddy did really well. I looked around and didn't see him in the living room, but found him lying on the rug in the bathroom. I let him stay--if we had had a tornado, I'd be the one looking foolish for not being in there with him.

Sporting, I do both imperial and metric depending on context, but the unit I can't relate to reality at all is Fahrenheit.

It is as the boiling point of water, I agree. In Fahrenheit it seems to be a relatively meaningless landmark - it's already been horribly hot since about 80, or 85, or somewhere around there. But I know you just wanted to show off that degrees symbol you've found.

The BBC also gives a "feels like" temperature on its app. It's forecast to top out at 29C/84F around here but it'll feel like 34C/93F.
I'm going to live in the fridge.
