Why do it if it's not fun?

Yes, it will depend on temperature.

The rule of thumb I gave above is a good guideline: 4% for every 10 degrees. Since 4% of 27' happens to be nearly exactly 1', that means it will vary by about 1' per 10 degrees.

That's only a guideline, though. I'm sure I've seen someone post a link to a website that had a formula, and I think the formula took several pages of A4 - I wouldn't ask too many question because you might not like the answers!!!
