Convert Daily Range Between Fahrenheit and Celsius

[Buford T. Justice]

On my weather webpages, I use a small script to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius (or vice versa) so both temperatures are shown as Fahrenheit | Celsius. Using the example of the year's highest temperature, here is the HTML code I use to show both Fahrenheit and Celsius using Celsius data:

Code: Select all

<script>tempF1 = <#YearTempH> * 1.8 + 32;document.write(tempF1.toFixed(0));</script> °F | <#YearTempH> <#tempunit>

And here is the same thing using Fahrenheit data:

Code: Select all

<#YearTempH> <#tempunit> | <script>tempC1 = (<#YearTempH> - 32) / 1.8;document.write(tempC1.toFixed(1));</script>

The problem I running into using these codes deals with the daily ranges. I know they are determined by subtracting the low from the high temperature, but there must be a way to do it to where I can show the range as both Fahrenheit and Celsius. I cannot figure out a way to do this Might someone out there know?

To convert a temperature difference between deg C and deg F, just multiply/divide by 1.8 as appropriate.

Oh of course! Every 1 °C = 1.8 °F. Ever have one of those days you can't remember simple things like that? LOL! Thanks.
