Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.

    IMO it’s not even about something making sense, we’re just very accustomed to fahrenheit, so it feels more natural to us.

    I’ll be the first to admit that I have no idea about what’s warm and cold in Celsius. I know 0 is quite cold, 20 is room temperature, and 100 is near instant death.

      20 is a hot room, 15 is room temperature

      10 - 30 is average for most weather in moderate parts of the world 5 - 10 is it cold night <3 and you have snow 50 would be a desert

        15°C is way too cold as room temperature, 18 - 20°C is the minimum at which I’m comfortable

            Depends on the weather.

            If it was 23 outside that would be hot. I don’t want it that hot, my body is acclimatised to cooler temperatures.

            I had my house up to 20 the other day and it was too hot and I had to open some windows.
