(The degree, in Celsius and measured relative to a base temperature, is identical to the kelvin, the SI base unit). Expressed as a proper SI unit, a quantity of kelvin second is four orders of magnitude higher than the corresponding degree day (1 Celsius degree-day is 8.64×10 4 K·s; 1 Fahrenheit degree-day is 4.8×10 4 K·s).
In such cases, a modified growing degree day is used: the growing degree days are calculated at the lower baseline, then at the higher baseline, which is subtracted. Corn is an example of this: it starts growing at 10 °C and stops at 30 °C, meaning any growing degree-days above 30 °C do not count. [4]
As total energy consumption is in kilowatt hours and heating degree days are [no. days×degrees] we must convert watts per kelvin into kilowatt hours per degree per day by dividing by 1000 (to convert watts to kilowatts), and multiplying by 24 hours in a day (1 kW = 1 kW⋅h/h).

One degree day per degree Fahrenheit over 50 °F, or with SI units, degrees Celsius over 10 °C is used. All days during the growing season are then added up, all negative values are set to zero, with the sum of the growing degree-days used to determine the region's classification in the original Winkler index as follows:
A comfortably cool start this Tuesday as we wake up with low 60s inland and mid to upper 60s closer to the coast. Temps will jump 20 to 30 degrees by this afternoon as highs soar to the upper 80s.
