What happens below 12 degrees celsius?

Ok .. I admit this question isn't military related, but since it is related to Pioneer magazine, I am justified to post the topic here.

In the Nov issue of Pioneer (Get fit with IPT), in the article on the SAF band in Korea, a caption reads:

The temperature dropped below 12 degrees Celsius in the night when the band performed outdoors at the Rose Garden, but being the professionals that they were, the show went on as planned.

Is there a printing mistake? Can you play at -12C? Won't the saliva turn to ice? From the photo, they were not in any winter kit. Won't the nose or ear drop off or something? Rolling Eyes

Meaning the temperature at night is less than 12 degreeC, "drop below 12 degreeC" doesnt means -12 degreeC. At night, the temperature could drop below 12 degreeC.

It's simple means <12 DegreeC

Your saliva won't turn to ice, your blood won't freeze up, neither will your piss. Laughing Does that answer your question?

Embarassed

Thanks for the explanation.

The description is a bit confusing. Why did they use 12 degrees? Is it the daytime temperature? If so, then the caption never tell us much, except that the show went on as planned, meaning the drop in temperature was quite big and that the show could be stopped.

If 12 degrees is the night time temperature, then we are not told how large is the drop. If the drop is slight, how does this show their professionalism?

Yesyesyes, you got a point, they should have just used 285 kelvin and spare us the agony. Laughing In fact they should have gone on to explain how wind chill wasn't factored into their calculations.

It shows if the temperature was -12.15 degrees celcius, they probably lost all the confidence to perform.

Put your hand in a bowl of Ice water, this is 0 degreeC.

Put your hand just outside the air-conditioner with cold air blowing, this is approx. 20 degreeC.

12 degreeC is something in between.

My Ex Starlight was 10-12C. How come i wasn't in Pioneer.

They braved few hours in 12C.

We braved DAYS in 10-12C in WET uniforms...

Gordonator SG

firstly i think the sentence "below 12 degrees Celsius in the night" is already pretty well-understood right? Laughing

secondly the average day time temperature for the month of october in south korea is about 22C to 24C.

285kelvin? Shocked Shocked Shocked so the band conductor will be then become a super conductor? wah power leh.. Laughing

12 deg C is nothing. Rolling Eyes Just wear your overcoats or wear wool liners beneath your band uniform.

Were you playing music with musical instruments in front of crowds at the point of time? I guess not. Laughing
