Comment on How can an airplane hit -47°c (-52°f) temperatures while flying over Southern Florida?
shalafi@lemmy.world 5 hours agoI was once on a fancy airliner that had readouts on the seat backs. One thing you could see was temperature. I believe it was -175F or so. This was also over Florida BTW. Only reason I know about this!

That’s an erroneous readout. Modern aircraft have various limits on air temperature, but none in the negative triple digits.

You’re right! Looks like it’s more like -70F at 36,000 feet.
