Eh American temperatures just sound confusing.
I’ll see headlines like “Record breaking weather over 104 degrees “ and think holy shit people must be dying, and it’s just like only bloody 40 degrees.
I just think of it like this. 0 is fucking cold, 100 is fucking hot. It's the easiest for me to describe comfort levels according to temperature.
72 is room temperature, so anything above, it's time to start taking clothes off. Anything below it's time to start putting more on.
32 is around about where water freezes so if it gets close to that, time to make sure pipes are wrapped and plants are inside. Only really have to worry about that one time a year though.
Celsius:
0 is freezing
10 is not
20 is pleasing
30 is hot
In metric you just look at the first digit:
0x is cold
1x is light jacket
2x is shorts weather
3x is hot
One time... Like late November to early March.
I only have to worry about the change once a year as far as major things go. Which is what I was alluding to.
Comfort levels? I usually wear a hoodie with 1-2 layers down to 32, then my coat for everything below that with layers added the colder it gets.
I live in Michigan so the transition seasons are a crap-shoot on what you'll need to wear that day anyways so I have to keep clothes in my car either way temperature is measured.
