"Wow -- that sounds rather hot, even for Australia!"
Exactly. This was in a forum where most of the members were Americans, and he converted to F, but did not indicate what units he was using. He was actually complaining how cold it was, so I busted his chops. Always use units when discussing temperatures.Uwe said that another Aussie was complaining that it was 50 degrees, which per your stats is a historic heat wave...in the middle of the southern hemisphere's winter.
Could the person posting in that other forum have done something radical (because he knows that Americans are dumb and only speak one language) and convert his temperature into the old-fashioned Fahrenheit scale so that we would understand it?????

. Analog speedo in Miles, and everything else in Metric. It would be a good "transition" cluster to help in eventually going full Metric.No way am I going to risk the MFA displaying annoying Dingle phrases or calling me a hoser.....
outgassing from their first heat up in months.
Something doesn't make sense with your terminology. One does not generally have a "furnace" and "radiators". If you have radiators, this implies hydronic heating, and the hot water is supplied by a boiler.I woke up this morning to a strange odor throughout the house, sort of like an electrical fire. Walked past the smart thermostat in the living room, and it was reading 19.5 degrees inside with a set temperature of 20 degrees. Yup, the furnace has just kicked on for the first time since probably April! I don't know why the baseboard radiators make that electrical fire smell the first few times the furnace runs every year, but suspect that it is either dust/oxidation burning off of the aluminum fins or else the PEX plumbing lines (speaking of hosers!)
For those keeping score at home, it is a solid 2 degrees outside right now, and still slowly falling as it is before sunrise. While I doubt that it will break the magic zero freezing barrier, I do think that it could still dip into the 1's in the next 15 minutes or so.....
I use indirect domestic hot water heating as well; fed from a mod-con boiler.We won't go into why my hot water faucet supply comes from a BoilerMate (TM) attached to the hot water furnace.....
