    You don’t need to do a conversion, you can just learn them intuitively. 0 is dangerously cold, 10 is cold, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot, 40 is dangerously hot.

      That’s the joke…?

      I wouldn’t say that 0C is dangerous cold. For me, that’s more like -20C, and -30C is really quite unpleasant.

          Whoah there, 20c° is shorts weather, let’s not get carried away. In winter, it’s a comfy setting for the thermostat (speaking from New England). If it were 32c°, I’m sitting inside in air conditioning

            20c is pants and jacket time! 32c is the high everyday. It’s just normal and certainly not hot.

      30c is the perfect temperature. It’s not hot it’s nice. 40c is fine if you drink water and use shade. It’s like saying 5c is dangerous bc it can kill you if you don’t wear a jacket.

      0 is when snow turns to ice, so slipping becomes a thing to be aware of. But more like -5 to -10 degrees since direct sunlight tends to melt it. It’s not really that cold unless you’re sitting naked outside.
