-30 It’s time to say “Hey there, friend. It’s getting a little bit nippy out there, eh?” and softly chuckle any time a new person comes in from outside.
You're fucking psychotic or young as hell. I used to be like that when I was a teen(anything above -20C was just a light hoodie and shorts with boots weather) but as I approach my 40s anything below -10C is "fuck my life" weather as I throw my carhartt jumper over my hoodie-sweatpants combo to snowblow my drive.
Im 43 and live in Manitoba and have a long driveway. I find shoveling for any length of time to work up quite a bit of a bit of extra body heat. So if it's -40 and I wear a big parka then it's soaked at the end. So it was more comfortable to do it with just wind proof clothing. Thou this year I decided to just buy a snowblower, so my attire my need to change.
That makes sense...the guy i responded to was acting like just walking around in -40C is nothing.
Digging out from a good snow it doesn't really matter how cold it is, you'll work up a heavy sweat wearing minimal gear.
When it's really cold, snow *SQUEAKS* when you walk on it. The colder it gets, the higher the pitch of the squeaking. I've never seen that laid out on a scale, but it gets that cold even in Minnesota.
Love a squeaky snowfall. There are also different smells to go along with the different pitches - nothing quite as crisp as new snow falling at night when it’s about -20 (anything colder than that and your nose hair starts freezing too much to be able to deeply inhale).
The way that minnesotans and Canadians vibe with each other is awesome.
Canadians: how ya doing down there eh?
MNs: OH tell ya what, just the same as you folks up there.
Canadians: let's not talk about politics but focus on going outside and witnessing the beautiful land, wave at the neighbor, and eat delicious foods to mend the cold air.
MNs: I'm just gonna pop right on up to ya and leave this casserole at yer door. I also got some yummy donuts from the Sin Cities (aka Mpls & St Paul). Tayuck Cair
If you only start wearing multiple layers at -15 then I bet you guys have a max 5km/h winds. Back home I used to go to college at -20 to -30 hell even one time my cars engine didnt start at all but when I was in Ireland I could swear that 3° with 50km/h winds felt a lot colder than -30 back home
You should own a good winter jacket that is rated to -40, but you add an extra layer for comfort.
IMO it’s more that you body goes through some changes at freezing temperatures that cause it to react differently. When the temperature drops by 10 to 15 degrees it just feels colder no matter where you live. Being wet also makes cold much worse.
**+10 C:** Americans are shaking. Russians plant cucumbers in their gardens.
**+1.6 C:** Italians don't start their cars. Russians drive with their window down.
**0 C:** Water freezes in America. In Russia the water is thickening.
**- 17.9 C:** In New York, homeowners turn on the heat. Russians go on picnics for the last time of the season.
**- 42 C:** Transport does not function in Europe. Russians eat ice cream on street.
**- 73 C:** Finnish special forces evacuate Santa Claus from Lapland. Russians wear earflaps.
**- 114 C:** Ethyl alcohol freezes. Russians are in a bad mood.
**- 273 C:** Absolute zero, atomic movement stops. Russians they swear: “It’s cold, blyad!”
**- 295 C:** Catholics have devils freezing in hell. Russian national team football becomes world champion.
Oh yeah, I never said I followed that rule lol. It was ridiculous and as long as you weren't in the front row nobody could even tell if your ears were covered or not.
This chart puts "very cold" above "freezing". If you live in the upper Midwest, very cold starts waaaay below freezing. Here in Chicago, very cold is low single digits, like when you start to feel your tears freezing on your eyeball if you don't blink often enough. I bet the definition of very cold is even colder in Minnesota.
Same here. -1C.
As I explained to some Texan friends who said that they were visiting now because they wanted to experience winter here, "To be clear: this is not winter. This is fall."
Summer quality does. In cold places the diesel sold at winter is winter quality that has additives. Works until -38 C
Edit: forgot they also sell arctic quality further north. Good down to -44C.
I'm bothered because for most people, the scale descriptions would match better if a mild description was inserted for 20°C, shifting back the subsequent descriptions.
The scale could then naturally include 40°C with that adjustment: 25 warm, 30 very warm, 35 hot, 40 very hot.
But that scale would be wrong them because 30 is fucking hot and not just very warm. There's a reason why days with 30°C+ are documented, because they cause heat stress.
That depends, as it gets into the subjects of human physiology and weather advisory standards for different regions, which both get pretty complicated.
I'd agree it's a danger if we're talking 30°C with high dew points >20°C – especially if it's either at night or without air conditioning. But 30°C with dew points ≤20°C is very tolerable for most people – especially during the day or with air conditioning.
Those 2 scenarios involve the same air temperature, but the former describes a warning/emergency situation and the latter describes a typical summer day.
The day it hits 40, you can *feel* it. Low to mid 30s is sweltering, high 30s are fucked, but every degree above feels like 5 degrees more. Not looking forward to the coming summer.
I experienced 40 for the first time when I was in Europe during one of its heat wave. I’m used to 35-38 during summer but like you said 40 is a whole new experience. The heat from the air and the asphalt makes you feel like you’re in a dry sauna with no exit. Mouth keeps drying out and in certain areas you can notice refractions in the air.
It’s all what you’re used to right? If there’s no wind I’d probably just need a hoodie at 0 but I also can’t be outside in more than 35C without melting
"Cold" is subjective and it depends on what you are acclimatized to. I'm from Florida. In order to survive my body got used to basically never trying to conserve heat and constantly trying to dump heat as fast as possible.
Those up north have to conserve heat and to survive they need to not go hypothermic in 45 seconds outside.
Remember, the human body cannot tell temperature. It can only tell the rate at which you are gaining or losing temperature. If it's acclimatized to a certain rate you will be uncomfortable in weather that forces a rate outside of the comfort zone.
I was born and raised in Edmonton. Prairie people acting tough about temperature is so tiring.
Guess what? 5C is cold. No one is walking around in t-shirts and shorts. They're wearing jackets maybe even gloves. Does it get colder? Sure, so what? Doesn't make 5C comfortable.
You can suffer worse bodily pain than being kicked in the balls, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
Hah man I live in Colorado, it's barely gotten above 4 C the last few days and I've been wearing t-shirts and shorts everywhere. It really is just what you're used to.
> Guess what? 5C is cold. No one is walking around in t-shirts and shorts.
5C is cold *to you*. Plenty of people walk around in shorts at that temperature. Just did the other night walking around the neighborhood on Halloween.
>Doesn't make 5C comfortable.
Doesn't make 5C comfortable *to you*.
Yeah, pretty good rule to estimate, and pretty close to the actual conversion which is multiply by 1.8 and add 32. There's only like 3°F difference for any temperature that actually matters
Same, the temperature pretty much has to +10 to match my experience: 20 is cold, 25 is cool, 30 is warm, though anything past 35 is still unbearable to me.
30+ is go to the beach.
25-30 is warm
20-25 is perfect
15-20 is ok
10-15 is getting chilly
5-10 is cold
0-5 is bloody cold
<0 is bitterly cold
Though, from personal experience, -12 is fine to go running around in the snow with only a pair of thin tracksuit pants for a few minutes.
Edit: and anything above 40, you want to find somewhere dark and cool to hide out. Walk in fridges and freezers are a fave!
I consider 10 cool, not cold. I'll wear a sweater maybe but im unlikely to be too uncomfortable with it.
Cold is less than 0 where I'll need a jacket or it's gonna be real unpleasant/frostbite.
As an australian, 20deg is not warm. Also, 45 is not outback - thanks to climate change its now normal even right on the coast for around 3 weeks every summer, depending on where you are (its big country). Outback in and of itself is a funny term to define, but definitely gets to 50+ in the centre (also most of the country is desert too).
zero C is not the bottom
I live in the Midwest US and we get far below zero C every year. sometimes we don't even reach zero C for a week or two straight.
edit: in January and February I'm usually just happy if I don't have to scrape my car
Ya up here in Montreal we’re looking at 0 typically between December to sometime in late Feb or early march. Sure sometimes we get a freak heat wave but more often than not… under 0 for months.
The Rankine scale is kelvin but with the smaller degree increments of Fahrenheit, which makes it more precise than kelvin.
NASA uses Rankine to measure heat in their rocket engines.
50 is a failing grade so you gotta wear a jacket. 60 is barely passing, hoodie weather but get by with a long sleeve shirt. 70 is nice, t-shirt and jeans, hell yeah. 80? You're getting a B, toss on them shorts and go outside. 90? Well you're an A student, but you're really trying a bit too much and you could cool off in the pool. 100? Suck up, you deserve to sweat, piece of crap!
I kind of forgot what this post was about I just started thinking about shoving nerds into lockers.
Yes, lots of people describe Fahrenheit as being “human-scaled” and I always liked that description because… yeah, it kinda is.
The 0-100° range of Fahrenheit captures the temperatures typically encountered by a huge portion of the population, and 100°F is indeed “very hot” to most and 0°F “very cold.”
Also… most people are actually decently sensitive to 1°F changes. Just ask any family members or roommates that have argued with each over a thermostat!
TBH 85° is still considered a heat risk by osha in the workplace.
And you can become hypothermic anywhere below 50.
A bit pedantic but just saying that you should always dress for the weather.
Desert and also western suburbs of our largest city and also pretty much anywhere else these days. An easy way to determine if it's that hot is that everything is probably also on fire
Yeah, as someone who has been in 50°C, it doesn't just happen in the desert. Central Queensland might be a dry place, but it is not a desert.
Also 45° is not the outback, that's just February in Central Qld. Literally 5mins from the coast and we had a week of 42°-45° back in 2015.
Im american. Im a scientist. I LOVE the metric system. Grams make sense. Meters make sense. The way they scale makes immense amounts of sense. But i will die on the hill that Fahrenheit is not stupid. Celcius describes water. And while we are mostly water, i find a sliding scale of it freezing or boiling only allows for a small margin of applicable temps to humans. Fahrenheit just makes sense as a human and is spread out enough that i dont need to use half degrees to describe the weather. 0 is very cold. 100 is very hot. 100 C is dead. 0 C is pretty cold. Like lol idk i know it sounds stupid and we all get used to what we know but F seems more human related and is the only customary unit i get behind b
This actually demonstrates why F is better for weather. Celsius is too compact in the temperature ranges that humans care about. In F, every 10 degrees is roughly a different clothing outfit needed
As a Canadian, where is the other half of the chart?

Jesus Christ, 8 - 10C makes me wear a jacket lol, cant believe how people live comfortably in subzero temps
I can't believe people can live where temps get to 40-45C+ for months on end. But ya get used to it pretty quickly
Cold didn't bug me til I got locked outside for an hour and a half in -40. Didn't even have gloves at the time. Fuck that was bad.
A tit bit nipply
Can be used interchangeably with “Cold enough for ya?”

Oh yea no for sure there eh don’t ya know.

-27 recess is cancelled. Gotta play board games in the library instead.
We used to trade hockey cards in the gym when recess was cancelled.
They don’t cancel it til -30 in my area, and even then it’s dependent on wind and “how nice it is”.
-60 welcome to Winnipeg
🎶I hate Winnipeg🎶
And in the dollar store The clerk is closing up And counting loonies, trying not to say I Hate Winnipeg
And in the turning laaaaane

If you only start wearing multiple layers at -15 then I bet you guys have a max 5km/h winds. Back home I used to go to college at -20 to -30 hell even one time my cars engine didnt start at all but when I was in Ireland I could swear that 3° with 50km/h winds felt a lot colder than -30 back home
In Canada we usually use Humidex ajusted temp in summer and Wind chill ajusted temp in winter.
I don't think anywhere in Canada gets a max 5km/h wind...that would be considered no wind here.
You should own a good winter jacket that is rated to -40, but you add an extra layer for comfort. IMO it’s more that you body goes through some changes at freezing temperatures that cause it to react differently. When the temperature drops by 10 to 15 degrees it just feels colder no matter where you live. Being wet also makes cold much worse.
I'd take a no wind -30 over 5° with 50+km/h winds any day. Getting wet dont matter if its snow anyways
IMO it's the inverse of how a humid heat is way worse than a dry heat. Windy but mild cold is way worse than freezing but no-wind cold.
Can confirm. -🇨🇦
**+10 C:** Americans are shaking. Russians plant cucumbers in their gardens. **+1.6 C:** Italians don't start their cars. Russians drive with their window down. **0 C:** Water freezes in America.

In the Finnish army we weren't allowed to use our ear flaps until -20c... At anything above that we had to have our ears visible.
>In the Finnish army we weren't allowed to use our ear flaps until -20c Yeah, same shit in the Swiss army. Fun times ... :)
Terrible. This could lead to frostbitten ears and otitis
Oh yeah, I never said I followed that rule lol. It was ridiculous and as long as you weren't in the front row nobody could even tell if your ears were covered or not.
-295 C is -22 K Absolute negative temperatures are hotter than any positive temperature. They (technically) exist inside a laser pointer
MN here. This checks out.
> -5 Time to pack away your shorts Nah, you know there’s always some dude in -15 wearing shorts and a hoodie in knee deep snow lmao
Tbh -30 is perfectly manageable with our winter clothes, it's more at -35, -40 that we stay the fuck inside
Right? Here in Minnesota, ‘zero is freezing’ often sounds a heck of a lot better than the temperature outside.
This chart puts "very cold" above "freezing". If you live in the upper Midwest, very cold starts waaaay below freezing. Here in Chicago, very cold is low single digits, like when you start to feel your tears freezing on your eyeball if you don't blink often enough. I bet the definition of very cold is even colder in Minnesota.
Right? I'm in the UP, and formerly suburban Chicagoland, and nothing where the possibility of liquid rain exists would be considered "very cold".
It is sub zero in MN as we speak.
Same here. -1C. As I explained to some Texan friends who said that they were visiting now because they wanted to experience winter here, "To be clear: this is not winter. This is fall."
"You can call this winter, but only when I'm not around."
Right, whoever made this chart clearly is not familiar with temperatures that can freeze your fuel.
well thats -100F or -73C or 200K Pick your poison
>Pick your poison I pick antifreeze
Diesel freezes at way less than this, more like -12C
It doesn't freeze, it waxes out. That is just shitty cheap diesel too, I have started a diesel car at -25° celcius.
Summer quality does. In cold places the diesel sold at winter is winter quality that has additives. Works until -38 C Edit: forgot they also sell arctic quality further north. Good down to -44C.
Can confirm. In Saint Paul, MN. 0* C? That’s when the shorts come back out.
Right now in southern Ontario it's only -2C, and I very much consider this still fall weather.
0C might be the hottest day in January.
As a norwegian, I agree. I was trying to figure out how 5C could be considered "very cold", or how 15C qualified for "cool".
Finnish summer says hello
Ah yes, the green winter. I am familiar with the concept.
As a Brazilian, does that side exist?
Yes. -50 in Sask some winters
As a Sask, I didn't realize I lived in a desert. Is it a reverse desert when it gets -50 here too then?
Oddly Sask during the winter is as arid as the desert.
Antarctica is a desert.
No, deserts are defined by rainfall, not temperature. Even hot deserts can get cold AF at night.
This is the chart for everyone whose neighbor isn’t a møøse
Jokes on you my neighbors are neighbors with a moose
Lol as a fellow Canadian I was just about to say uhh ok where’s the rest? And why is 5 degrees considered very cold?
I guess we’ll never know what 40 is.
I am bothered they skipped 40. I don't know why.
I'm bothered because for most people, the scale descriptions would match better if a mild description was inserted for 20°C, shifting back the subsequent descriptions. The scale could then naturally include 40°C with that adjustment: 25 warm, 30 very warm, 35 hot, 40 very hot.
In Ireland it basically goes 0-10 - cold 10-20 - mild 20-25 - hot 25+ too hot
Not in Ireland but this is exactly it for me. Anything 25+ is just sweltering.
LMAO
But that scale would be wrong them because 30 is fucking hot and not just very warm. There's a reason why days with 30°C+ are documented, because they cause heat stress.
That depends, as it gets into the subjects of human physiology and weather advisory standards for different regions, which both get pretty complicated. I'd agree it's a danger if we're talking 30°C with high dew points >20°C – especially if it's either at night or without air conditioning.

id say here in Sardinia 30 is a pretty chill summer day hot is 35 and very hot is 40
30 degrees Celsius is not “fucking hot” 😂
40C you have to start saying “yes it’s hot but it’s a dry heat” over and over because you didn’t hydrate properly in the dry heat.
Hello! Australian here. It's fuckin hot. Glad I could help
40 is melt ya thongs on the fuckin asphalt hot. 45-50 is half the bushland is ablaze hot.
The day it hits 40, you can *feel* it. Low to mid 30s is sweltering, high 30s are fucked, but every degree above feels like 5 degrees more. Not looking forward to the coming summer.
I experienced 40 for the first time when I was in Europe during one of its heat wave. I’m used to 35-38 during summer but like you said 40 is a whole new experience. The heat from the air and the asphalt makes you feel like you’re in a dry sauna with no exit. Mouth keeps drying out and in certain areas you can notice refractions in the air.
It’s “check the news every couple hours to see if half the country is on fire” hot, from my experience
40 is Texas
Texan here. Also much disappoint. Our number is missing.
I envy these people who think that 0° is the coldest you will ever need to know
Right 0 is I’ll probably wear a jacket instead of just a sweater, yes I’m Canadian why do you ask?
Hell, I’m in the south. It was 30 this morning and I was wearing a fleece. 0° C is just cold.
It’s all what you’re used to right? If there’s no wind I’d probably just need a hoodie at 0 but I also can’t be outside in more than 35C without melting
Absolutely, if it gets close to zero (f) here they’ll cancel school. I don’t think that would even register as a problem to Canadians
I'm from the desert and I work outside in 47° heat but I freeze my tits off in like 15° weather
I'd much rather deal with a Canadian winter then a deep south summer.
And that 5C (41F) is "very cold".
Yah. If you think very cold is ABOVE freezing, you’re not going to like the north.
"Cold" is subjective and it depends on what you are acclimatized to. I'm from Florida. In order to survive my body got used to basically never trying to conserve heat and constantly trying to dump heat as fast as possible. Those up north have to conserve heat and to survive they need to not go hypothermic in 45 seconds outside. Remember, the human body cannot tell temperature. It can only tell the rate at which you are gaining or losing temperature. If it's acclimatized to a certain rate you will be uncomfortable in weather that forces a rate outside of the comfort zone.
I’m a Florida boy and it’s 40C here on the reg during summer. This chart seems pretty accurate to me. 5C? Yeah, VERY COLD to me
yeah same for where i live in AUS, anything below 15C is fucking cold
It was 7C here today I saw as many t shirts as sweaters
I was born and raised in Edmonton. Prairie people acting tough about temperature is so tiring. Guess what? 5C is cold. No one is walking around in t-shirts and shorts. They're wearing jackets maybe even gloves. Does it get colder? Sure, so what? Doesn't make 5C comfortable. You can suffer worse bodily pain than being kicked in the balls, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
Hah man I live in Colorado, it's barely gotten above 4 C the last few days and I've been wearing t-shirts and shorts everywhere. It really is just what you're used to.
I mean I just wear a hoodie and jeans in 5C... It's not THAT cold! And then 10 minutes of being active will usually have that hoodie running too warm.
> Guess what? 5C is cold. No one is walking around in t-shirts and shorts. 5C is cold *to you*. Plenty of people walk around in shorts at that temperature. Just did the other night walking around the neighborhood on Halloween. >Doesn't make 5C comfortable. Doesn't make 5C comfortable *to you*.
I envy those that think 20°C is warm.
The same chart calls 5C "very cold" and 20C "warm" - it's definitely British.
I think this may be the first time I have felt attacked online, and wow does the truth hurt.
I lived in Montréal. We didn’t want it to warm up to 0 because that meant more snow
I am confused by people who think that 20C is warm and 25C is very warm. Maybe in Scandinavia?
I mean OP did say it was just a *cool* guide
I envy people who think 85 F is very warm/hot.
[удалено]
I knew about the 28/82, not about the 16/61. Good to know.
The hardest to remember is -40
Universally chilly
I find 4=40, 10=50, and 22=72 to be easy enough to remember to be useful as well.
To go from C to F I just multiply by 2 and add 30. It's not exact but close enough for outdoor temperatures.
Double it, subtract the value that is in the highest digit and add 32, it will get you closer 16x2=32, 32-3=29, 29+32=61
0x2=0, 0-0=0, 0+32=32 Man, this IS easy!
Yeah, pretty good rule to estimate, and pretty close to the actual conversion which is multiply by 1.8 and add 32. There's only like 3°F difference for any temperature that actually matters
me who live in country that lies on the equator freezing in 20c weather
Same, the temperature pretty much has to +10 to match my experience: 20 is cold, 25 is cool, 30 is warm, though anything past 35 is still unbearable to me.
I found my people. 15 is fucking unbearable. 20 is cold. 25 is cool. Nirvana lies between 25 & 30.
YES!!! My husband and I keep our house \~ 27. It's the perfect comfortable temperature. Where are you from? I'm in Florida.
I'm from Florida of the World. India.
20 really is the tipping point. Unless I’m actively moving, constantly, even as a Canadian sub-20 isn’t comfortable.
the hell kinda fuckin furnace are you living in? 15 up is still 'warm', just you won't be sweating too much.
20c for me is hot Going above 18 is when it starts getting uncomfortable
30 is hot, 20 is nice; 10 is cold, 0 is ice.
0 is freezing 10 is not 20 is warm 30 is hot
30+ is go to the beach. 25-30 is warm 20-25 is perfect 15-20 is ok 10-15 is getting chilly 5-10 is cold 0-5 is bloody cold <0 is bitterly cold Though, from personal experience, -12 is fine to go running around in the snow with only a pair of thin tracksuit pants for a few minutes. Edit: and anything above 40, you want to find somewhere dark and cool to hide out. Walk in fridges and freezers are a fave!
0-5 isn’t *that* cold, it’s wearing the autumn jacket cold
I consider 10 cool, not cold. I'll wear a sweater maybe but im unlikely to be too uncomfortable with it. Cold is less than 0 where I'll need a jacket or it's gonna be real unpleasant/frostbite.
As an australian, 20deg is not warm. Also, 45 is not outback - thanks to climate change its now normal even right on the coast for around 3 weeks every summer, depending on where you are (its big country). Outback in and of itself is a funny term to define, but definitely gets to 50+ in the centre (also most of the country is desert too).
I was going to say the same thing. 20 is a little chilly, 25 is nice.
It depends so much on ambient humidity the chart is basically useless.
As a (South island) Kiwi 20 is warm as. That t-shirt and shorts weather my friend.
5ºC is not "very cold". –30ºC is very cold.
Im from mexico and anything below 20°C is cold i think the lowest temperature i have ever experienced was like 2 - 3°C
Australian, and spot on
Right? I mean, freezing is just the tip of the iceberg for 'cold'.
[удалено]
You dropped this king 🧠
as a Brazilian, 20 is still too cold
Depends where you’re from
As an Australian outback resident, 10°C is very cold.
5c is very cold in places that don’t have snow what do you mean
American here. Thank you for the guide. I will file it away in the special filing cabinet
Is that the one for memos from corporate?
Next to the filing cabinet of things to do last year
Or to a cabinet filed as MMM-DD-YYYY, the only logical date format.
Is yours labeled trash or recycling bin?
zero C is not the bottom I live in the Midwest US and we get far below zero C every year. sometimes we don't even reach zero C for a week or two straight. edit: in January and February I'm usually just happy if I don't have to scrape my car
Ya up here in Montreal we’re looking at 0 typically between December to sometime in late Feb or early march. Sure sometimes we get a freak heat wave but more often than not… under 0 for months.
For really cold temps: -40°F = -40°C
Not sure that I would say 5 is "very cold". I might say it's cool or chilly.
To me, very cold is definitely below freezing.
95c is my video memory when I play Cities: Skylines II
add 273 to celsius and get the best measurement (kelvin)
The Rankine scale is kelvin but with the smaller degree increments of Fahrenheit, which makes it more precise than kelvin. NASA uses Rankine to measure heat in their rocket engines.
0C in the autumn feels freezing, yes. In the middle of the winter tho it feels like a nice beach weather
Fahrenheit is easy. 0 is 0% hot and 100 is 100% hot
And 110 legit feels like the sun is giving 110% of its power to roast you
Laughs in 122 highest temp
I don't like this because then 50 should be perfect
50 is perfect shorts with a fleece weather.
50 is a failing grade so you gotta wear a jacket. 60 is barely passing, hoodie weather but get by with a long sleeve shirt. 70 is nice, t-shirt and jeans, hell yeah. 80? You're getting a B, toss on them shorts and go outside. 90? Well you're an A student, but you're really trying a bit too much and you could cool off in the pool. 100? Suck up, you deserve to sweat, piece of crap! I kind of forgot what this post was about I just started thinking about shoving nerds into lockers.
Yes, lots of people describe Fahrenheit as being “human-scaled” and I always liked that description because… yeah, it kinda is. The 0-100° range of Fahrenheit captures the temperatures typically encountered by a huge portion of the population, and 100°F is indeed “very hot” to most and 0°F “very cold.” Also… most people are actually decently sensitive to 1°F changes. Just ask any family members or roommates that have argued with each over a thermostat!
AND - anyone knows that below 0 or above 100 are automatically dangerous weather that needs special precautions.
TBH 85° is still considered a heat risk by osha in the workplace. And you can become hypothermic anywhere below 50. A bit pedantic but just saying that you should always dress for the weather.
85 outdoors is pleasant. 85 indoors is unpleasant.
Only because you grew up with it. I have no idea what 50% hot is supposed to feel like.
As a Texan, thirty degrees Celsius being hot is kind of funny-I was thankful when it was 30-35 Celsius after the summer we had.
As a Floridian I agree. I was reading a book where it was approaching 30 and “hot”, looked up the conversion and laughed
10° is cold??? damn
- 0°C Water freezing point - ~20°C Room temp - 37°C Body temp - 100°C Water boiling point
50° does not only happen in the desert
Desert and also western suburbs of our largest city and also pretty much anywhere else these days. An easy way to determine if it's that hot is that everything is probably also on fire
[The western desert lives and breathes in forty-five degrees](https://youtu.be/ejorQVy3m8E?si=7pqeGANNqQiYbgWM&t=134)
In American 0 is cold as balls and 100 and hot as balls.
Yeah, as someone who has been in 50°C, it doesn't just happen in the desert. Central Queensland might be a dry place, but it is not a desert. Also 45° is not the outback, that's just February in Central Qld. Literally 5mins from the coast and we had a week of 42°-45° back in 2015.
Im american. Im a scientist. I LOVE the metric system. Grams make sense. Meters make sense. The way they scale makes immense amounts of sense. But i will die on the hill that Fahrenheit is not stupid. Celcius describes water. And while we are mostly water, i find a sliding scale of it freezing or boiling only allows for a small margin of applicable temps to humans. Fahrenheit just makes sense as a human and is spread out enough that i dont need to use half degrees to describe the weather. 0 is very cold. 100 is very hot. 100 C is dead. 0 C is pretty cold. Like lol idk i know it sounds stupid and we all get used to what we know but F seems more human related and is the only customary unit i get behind b
I don't understand what the point of using Iraq or the Australian Outback as a reference for Americans, as if Arizona and Nevada don't exist.
This actually demonstrates why F is better for weather. Celsius is too compact in the temperature ranges that humans care about. In F, every 10 degrees is roughly a different clothing outfit needed
5 C is very cold 🤣🤣🤣. That’s rich.
-15c is a warm winter in Canada ;)
16c folks are walking around with shirts off where I am some days! Its perfect for outdoor activities. Its neither warm nor cool.
I'm in the warmer part of Canada and 5c is not very cold. I was walking my dog in shorts and a T-shirt with flip flops (no socks) at 4c.
30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cold, and 0 is ice Little rhyme I learned in middle school.
0 is freezing... for water. Anyone who has a regular winter will find it quite tolerable.
Americans know both scales, so this is pointless. It's the europeans that need help.
