Thank you @Mags & @Boot but I am on a Chromebook, so neither Ipad nor Microsoft unfortunately.
I googled it for Chromebook and got this:
“… ctrl + shift + u, release, shift + b, release, 0, space That gives you the degreesymbol ,”
A tad complicated for one tiny symbol, so I’ll just copy & paste like @Omah suggested!
P.S I’ve sent one Scottish Breeze down your way Mags…lasts for 24 hrs, so you should be ok overnight
I must confess I am a bit lazy, even though it’s straightforward on an iPad, I don’t usually bother with that ° symbol - if I’m writing about temperature, I just type 22C and assume the reader will understand what I mean!
Not sure if I would be classed as ‘elderly and/or vulnerable’ - but I certainly do not tolerate heat very well - never have - but I do believe a little common sense goes a long away. Being retired helps because I can adjust my hours to suit myself - sleeping during the day when it is really hot - up and around at night when it is cooler. The house is kept cool by opening all the windows but closing curtains and blinds - and having electric fans strategically placed. If I have to be out - shopping etc., - I do it early. I wear cotton or linen clothing outside - silky kaftans in the house - sleep on top of the bed rather than in it - eat things that do not need to be cooked i.e. fruit and salads - and drink lots of water. It works well for me - can’t answer for others.
Oh … and I avoid nasty hissy Cobras.
For myself any temperature between 23° and 28° is perfect, anything below 20° is cold, above 33° is too hot. However as I said before humidity makes all the difference.
It clouded over here today, and even got quite black and tried to rain, but it was only a few splashes.
The weatherman said tonight that the air is so bone dry, that when the rain tried to fall, it just disintegrated.
Never heard that before.
This is what is showing on our local weather:
