Temperature

A warm summer day

A warm summer day is weather with outdoor air noticeably hotter than average, typical of summer in temperate regions.

How big is it?

30 °C

Also 86 °F

Scale illustration of A warm summer day, calibrated to its temperature measurement.
The marked temperature represents 30 °C.

A little perspective

A warm summer day is 0.2354 K warmer than Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure.

Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure: This is the temperature at which pure gallium changes from solid to liquid under normal atmospheric pressure.

A defined 30 °C weather example.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked temperature is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure

Gallium melts at about 302.9146 K (29.7646 °C) near standard pressure. Purity and pressure affect a realised plateau.

NIST — ITS-90 fixed points

The marked equilibrium melting temperature near 101 kpa is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why this measurement?

Why we use 30 °C

For comparison, this page uses temperature. This is labelled defined reference: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value.
