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
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.

A lord.
A mistake plus Klevin gets you home by 7
Klevin Deez Nutz.
Future Noble Laureate for Physics due to discovering negative energy.
What’s a Noble Laureate?
A cock that the Lauré consumed.

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.
Depends where you live, I guess. I don’t really consider -20 to be dangerous but I live in Canada so I know how to dress for cold weather.
Canada is dry. Humidity is the other Killing factor there.

I’ve always thought it’s like: 0- is freezing, 10 is cold, 20 is ok, 30 is hot, 40+ is hell
Above 25 is hot, 30 is hell, 40+ is dead for me
On summer we normally hit 40+ (in some places even 45+) in Spain. I can confirm it’s hellish.

Also 0 is freezing so it can’t snow unless the temperature is below zero.
It very well can, it just won’t stick around.
