Degrees?

Presumably we are talking Celcius degrees? 18:54, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Here are google hits for temperature of lightning
  • [1] 54 000 F = 30 000 C
  • [2] 28-30 Kelvin from peer reviewed sources.
  • [3] Nasa 20,000 degrees C

So it is pretty clear that who ever typed that was thinking in Farenheit. Which will seem very strange to anyone who hasnt been to the USA, where that is still the defualt temperature scale! Perhaps the author hadn't been to the rest of the world where Celcius is the default. Anyway in the interest of US rest of the word relations I will leave both Billlion 08:08, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
