    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

        it depends on the cloth you have

        I live in a very warm country

        I literally don’t have clothes that I could use if the temperature got negative

          A lot of it is individual adaptation. People in colder climates may wear clothing very similar to people in warmer climates, but are just used to the colder temperatures. Someone from a colder country would probably end up getting heat stroke in your country while wearing the same clothing as you.

      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.
