    proof

    Paul’s flight left Honolulu at 12:00 p. m. Thursday, Honolulu time, and got into London at 1:00 p. m. Friday, London time. The difference of time is

    12:00 p. m. to 1:00 p. m = 13 hours

    the temperature was dropping 1° C per hour, so after 13 hours the temperature will be 30°-13° = 17°

    it is near 20-45°F
