For the other Americans that came into the thread hoping to see a conversion:
- 10c = 50f
- 30c = 86f
Edit: I'd like to note that 10c is a very reasonable temperature for shorts. I'm a Minnesotan (basically Canada lite (please annex us)), people start raising eyebrows at around 0C
F = C * 1.8 + 32
Just want to leave this here
Oh come on. Now you expect us to learn math too??
And if you want to do the math fast and just get close enough, you can just do “double it and add 30”.
its true, legs are immune to cold. shorts and a jacket is a reasonable outfit
Well with the whole northwest angle thing it's only fair that canada gets Minnesota.~please anex us~I don't want to share a congress with florida~~
0C? Fellow Minnesotan here and I've definitely seen plent of people wearing shorts at temps below -5C. But I'm also in a college town so that may change things.
I once amusedly watched girls sunbathe in bikinis at St. Lawrence University with patches of snow nearby in, I think March.
Conversely, I personally wore shorts and a tee one fine vacation in Florida around Christmas. It was 60f, and everybody was running around in jackets looking like they were in Chicago in January.
Lmao, that brings back memories of going to open gym in high school while wearing basketball shorts in -40 with my winter jacket on
The quick conversation I use is take off 30 and half the rest to go F to C or double it and add 30 to go C to F.
20C doubled is 40 and add 30. 70F
80F take off 30 is 50. Half that is 25. 25C
It's not completely accurate but close enough for conversation purposes.
I learned during the polar vortices that when it's -40 out it's the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit
Yeh 0C was exactly what I thought and then you mentioned it.
