Degrees Jarrin For some time now I've been unhappy with the usual temperate scales (e.g., Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit). Each has their uses (except Fahrenheit, of course) but none of them are good for my needs. So I designed my own. To convert from Fahrenheit to Jarrin use this very straight-forward formula: °J = (°F - 70)3 / 17 + 50The Jarrin scale is a "comfort" scale, designed such that the idea temperature is 50°J (corresponding to 72°F) and any temperature in the range 0-100 is considered acceptable. Temperatures outside this range would be represented by extreme values (the current, chilly, late January temp of 9°F is accurately represented as appx. -13,300°J). BTW, the freezing point of water is near -3,177°J, its boiling point is near 168,478°J and absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is -8,741,072°J. To find out the current temperate in degrees Jarrin, enter the Fahrenheit in the box at the left and shift focus. Comments: Friday, February 06, 2009 11:46 PM from
