that's because of the 6.02*10^23 humidity
Holy moley
I need commas to try say that number..
18,989,268,000,000,000

Gotta love the 18 peta-kelvin wind "chill". Just for fun, air at that temperature would have an average particle velocity of around 99.994% the speed of light, and just one kilogram of it would have the energy of roughly 35 Tsar Bombas.
Thoughts and prayers for the rest of Canada and surrounding hemisphere, I suppose.
If you can’t take the heat, get out of Kitchener….
This... This is art
DAMN IT I WAS 52 MINUTES LATE
Or when the heat gets to be too much ... just change the name of the city
Last time it got hot .... it used to be called Berlin, Ontario
The snow and wind will counter the heat. All good.
Make sure you guys get some sun block. At least 30 SPF, OK?
Sure it’s a balmy 15,512°C, but it’s really the solar wind burns that get ya.
it's a dry heat, nbd.
^Feels like : is this the big bang?°^
The surface of the sun is around 10,000°C; that solar wind would be positively chilly.
It's more like 6000°C. But the corona's much hotter, and the solar winds originate from there. The temperature of the solar wind is estimated to be 100,000° - 800,000°, depending on the type (slow vs fast).
For the Americans, that's about 89ºF
it's about the amount of their national debt
Nice

Could be anything from malfunctioning sensors or possibly typos, pretty common problem with weather forecasts. Example.
That wind chill really kicks it up a notch.
That's the low... Imagine what the high is.
the real WTF is taking a photo of your monitor
