Same the other way around. I (european) regularly read about “100 degrees weather” somewhere in the US and my first thought always is “damn, that’s as hot as boiling water”.

In the UK you think “Oh yeah, my great granny used to use those measurements!”

Toronto is basically due east of where I live. 10C is pretty nice out. Hell, sometimes I don’t wear a coat when its 0C

Yeah, if it’s not super humid 0C can be pretty ok

Same, but I’m in Scotland. I was out shovelling snow in a vest and leggings and my neighbour who was dressed for an arctic expedition was horrified.

I’m just built for a different climate.

40 is unbearable

50 is death, tar sticks to your shoes, why am I outside?

Cause 30C is warm but 39C is heat stroke. Bigger range than 80-89F (warm to really warm), 90-99F (hot to really hot), 100F+ (heat stroke hot).

In numerics we have decimal points for that :)

We don’t even need that for weather. There’s not that much of a difference between 21 and 22 C, and anyway with wind and shade you can quickly have a difference of a few degrees.

That’s why weather is not just temperature, regardless of the used scale. But to ask you the same, what’s the difference between 110°F and 111°F?

I very rarely hear anyone refer to air temperature with a decimal though.

I’ve never heard anyone casually refer to air temperature either; its mostly always how fast the wind is on the Beaufort scale.

It’s quite common on digital thermostats to have the decimal place for C.
