Here's a rough C° primer for Americans
0° or below, fucking cold
1° - 10° cold
11° - 20° cool
21° - 30° warm
31° - 40° hot
41° or above - Jesus Christ I'm on fire!
As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.
-10° - -1° very cold
0° Water freezes
1° - 5° Cold
6° - 10° cool
11° - 16° warm
17° - 25° hot
26° - 30 very hot
Found the Canadian
No, just the reasonable guy.
26 very hot? It was 25 the other day in winter here. (Melbourne)
That's the thing, you live in hell's microwave.
microwave
Correction: smelting furnace
Most of the US and Canada would be using AC at that temp. Since the example was poised for Americans and not those living in bizzaro world.
On the other hand, I was wearing a t-shirt still the other day at hotham.. And somehow it feels colder now
Yup. Where I live we have seen down to -20F (during that time texas almost lost their power grid) and up to 115F.
Its currently 110F. Aka, hot.
Or, -28c to 46C. Currently 43C. And 40% humidity. Feels horrible.
I was in Dubai earlier this year and the heat index was 53⁰C. Felt like I was being baked alive.
I get metric for everything else, but °F is the better system for everyday/non scientific use. I will die on this hill.
That's because Fahrenheit is % of hot, based on what we feel. Therefore, °F is better for everyday use.
The one you use is the better system. I want to know whether I should bring a sweater. The system is arbitrary.
In what way is 0F helpful at all?
That's when we feel 0% hot.
