Title: Aldi thermometer
Post by: LordEoin on March 08, 2013, 05:55:47 AM
Just in case anyone sees them and begins to wonder...
Bought one today for €1.99.
Not the most accurate, boiling water reads 94C.

"The boiling point of water is 100°C or 212° F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level), but water boils at a lower temperature as you gain altitude (e.g., on a mountain) and boils at a higher temperature if you increase atmospheric pressure (lived below sea level)."

Are you on a mountain top?  ;D

He'd need to be 800 metres above Carrauntoohil for the thermometer to be correct! ;D
