Canadian here... in spring, 10C is shorts and t-shirt weather, eh?

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/-oOlAGKBXnA?si=7O0ksF0xR2Nd9_IH

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.

86 is hot? Weird

If it's also humid, then yes.

But I think those numbers define the start of those regions. So 30 is when "hot" starts.

[–] Serinus 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those numbers are easy to remember with what they mean. 0, 10, 20, 30 is an easy sequence. So is "freezing", "cold", "warm", "hot".

It's an easy guide to learning Celsius in a little more native way. The translation to Fahrenheit is provided, but not intended to be explicitly memorized. You can always do the C * 2 - 10% + 32 = F mentally if you really need to.

I'm not American so I won't be converting to F, but I somewhat agree with the person I responded to that 30°C / 86°F is not really hot... unless it also happens to be humid, in which case, that temperature can be quite uncomfortable.
