West Texas weather

 Temperature 102.2 F
Relative humidity 7%
Dew Point 24.8 F
Pressure 1005.64 hPa
Wind  West - Southwest / 12.7 mph


This weather applet says it feels like 95.0 F, but to me it
feels more like 110 F. It's scorching hot today. We live in
a sauna.

Come to West Texas and vacation in the great southwest before
it completely dries up and burns away.

What is F and mph and hPa?   Never heard of those numbers.  Your post
doesn't make any sense.

F is Fahrenheit
mph is miles per hour
1 Atm. = 101,325  Pascals

1 Atm. = 1,013.25 hecto Pascals

100 Pascals (a hecto Pascale) = 1 millibar

The Pascal as the SI unit of pressure, meteorologists chose the
hectopascal as the international unit for measuring atmospheric
pressure. (1 hPa = 100 Pascals = 1 mb.) The millibar is still often used
in weather reports and forecasts for the public, but the term
hectopascal is increasingly being used, especially on the Continent in
general and France, in particular. After all, Pascal was a Frenchman!.
For those with old instruments, conversion scales from mb/hPa to inches
and millimetres of mercury will be found in almanacs eg Macmillans
Reeds. The distribution of pressure is vital information for the
meteorologist who needs pressure readings taken at the same time in many
different places. For consistency, readings are adjusted to a datum of
mean sea level to take account of the reduced pressure at places above
sea level (1 hPa at or near sea level equals approximately 7.5 metres or
25 feet in height).

I think we are dealing with one of those fact based elitists.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True
conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

You, me or him? Billy do you even know what elitist means?
and how does that apply to the post about weather.

Not being impertinent, using full sentences, and punctuation still count
;O)

The weather blows.

In newsgroups, it is an invective used against someone who pushes your
conceited opinions out of the way by using facts. The more obscure the
fact, the greater the elitist.

I can see now that my concern was a false alarm.

When I want to know the meaning of a word, I use an "app" or a book
called a dictionary.

IIRC the last time I used one was when Kay Lancaster hit me with the
word "depauperate".
