      Yeah but C makes more sense. 0-10 is cold but not freezing, 10-20 is cool, 20-30 is warm, 30-40 is hot, 40+ is “you’re gonna die of heat exposure! Get inside, what are you doing?!” increasing in urgency with the number. If it’s in the negatives, it’s the same as the 40+ except “cold exposure”.

        It makes more sense in terms of our perception. But from a science perspective Klevin Kelvin makes more sense since you can’t go lower than 0 K and negative temperature doesn’t really make sense, since it’d mean something like negative energy.

          Negative absolute temperature is a thing. Lasers exhibit negative temperatures when active, i.e. the lasing medium has a negative temperature expressed in Kelvin. Adding more energy doesn’t increase its entropy, it just turns into more laser light. Any such system with bounded entropy can have a negative thermodynamic temperature.

            I had a suspicion there was going to be a response like this. Never heard of it but sounds very interesting.
            I doubt I’ll properly understand it without a good YouTube video. I shall embark on a search

          Yeah but from an every day perspective you’ve basically got 250 or so units there for no reason.

        I wouldn’t say it corresponds between negative and positive. -20 is already a lot more dangerous than 40.

        F has that too. Below 0, f it’s cold. Above 100, f it’s hot. 0-25 winter sports baby, 25-50 bleh it’s wet and nasty, 50-75 chefs kiss, 75-100 let’s hit the beach.

        I’ve always thought it’s like: 0- is freezing, 10 is cold, 20 is ok, 30 is hot, 40+ is hell

        Also 0 is freezing so it can’t snow unless the temperature is below zero.

      298.15 - 273,5 so its 24.65°C? I’d argue that is a lot. But i may just be heat sensitive

      Edit: fixed typo Edit2: fixed another typo. I gotta start proof reading before sending

          Eh, as a weirdo who uses Celsius a lot but lives in Buffalo, NY…

          -20s is cold. Coat, gloves, scarf, & hat. Long underwear. Not too much evaporation from the lake since it can freeze, so not much snow.
          -10s is chilly. Coat, probably zip it up towards the lower end of the range. Decent chance of apocalyptic snow.
          0-10s is cool. Wear a sweater.
          10s is nice. Maybe consider long sleeves & pants if it gets a bit cooler.
          20s is shorts & t-shirt weather.
          30s is all AC, all the time. Uncomfortably hot not too far into the range.
          40s is “the humidity is now so high the air is soup, filled with mosquitoes”.

          Hot is still relative. Are you talking about soup, a cup of coffee/tea or outside temperature? People would probably answer differently in each instance.
