Saturated or Unsaturated?

I have a simple way to guage the temperature in my attic room. My thermometer is a little jar of coconut oil. This oil is solid at room temperature and is very similar to the natural oils that the scalp produces. Because I have long hair the ends of my hair don't get any oil, so sometimes I massage a bit into them.

Anyway, my room temperature has kept my coconut oil in it's liquid state for much of the summer.

Today, it was fully solid!!!! This, along with a certain smell in the air, indicates to me that the heat of summer will soon be gone and the cool of fall will be here. Rejoice all you who live in attics!

(S--I am not griping about my room. I love it, despite the heat, and sometimes I even have AC, which takes care of that problem.)
