Temperature
Equivalents: Centigrade
to Farenheit: zero C = 32 F; five C = 41 F; ten C = 50 F; fifteen C = 59
F; twenty C = 68 F.
Conversion: C = (F-32) x 5/9. F = (C x 9/5) + 32.
Time
Co-ordinated Universal
Time (UTC) = GMT = Zulu.
Australia (eastern) is ten hours ahead of UTC i.e at 2200 it's only
1200 UTC.
Daylight Saving or Summer time adopted by several countries is one
hour ahead of GMT/UTC/Zulu. For example:
British Summer Time (BST) is one hour ahead of GMT/UTC/Zulu.
Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the USA is five hours behind UTC i.e at
1200 EST it's already 1700 UTC.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) = UTC = Zulu.
LT = Local time
Zulu = GMT = UTC.
