        I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…

        Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…

        F = C*(9/5)+32

        If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8

        To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose

      Um, actually they are both far hotter than the sun’s surface. The whole meme should have melted.

        No, 30 degrees is freezing temperature. 10 Degrees is below freezing. It should be very cold and chilly and these people should take the proper precautions, such as wearing coats and snow pants.

          Ah, I did a little research and realized you are actually correct. Please accept my humble apology!

    Coming from the Northern US the difference between 10C and 30C is a Jacket and a T-shirt. This is just May.

    February is -30C to 10C depending on cloud cover, wind, and precipitation.

    10C does not rep Aokiji; and 30C for Suzaku is kinda insulting for everyone south of the 30th parallel.

      The temperatures are literally the only things that make sense in this statement 😂

        10C is 50F that’s barely jacket weather if it’s raining.

        30C is ~85F which is a comfortable day to walk around.

        Aokiji is an instant freeze -100C or -150 F. -60F is death.

        Suzaku is Magma or 150C or 302F. At 120F Arizona holes up like it’s winter.

        The comparisons are insulting in both directions.

          To save anyone else the bother, I had to Google this to find out what the actual fuck OP is dribbling about

          I’m about 95% certain he or she just watches too many Japanese cartoons

          What your body considers cold depends on what it is used to. My body is used to Texas weather and I consider 10 c (50 f) to be hoodie and pant weather.

          You might consider that to mean my body is used to a very hot temperature. But I’ve been on trips to places closer to the equator where, at 18 c (65 f), I would be wearing shorts and the locals are wearing their thickest sweaters (which are pretty light by my standards).

          There are Siberians out there who might consider what you consider to be cold to not be that cold.

          Cold and hot are relative.

    I feel justified wearing shorts at any temperature above freezing. Its 4°C now and I’m sweating in jeans and a t-shirt.

      My limit is basically -18C (0F). But I don’t spend any time outside in that state. Parking lot to work entrance. I’ve gone an entire year no long pants.

        I mostly wear trousers so the other parents don’t think I’m a freak. Also where I live rarely gets that cold, despite being in the literal arctic (coastal climate). Don’t have to go far inland for it to get cold af though.

    When I lived in Minnesota the shorts came out when we warmed up to even 1C. Yeah I’m American but I’ve lived a couple of years in Europe and I can math so I know what a C is. I still prefer F. But my wife likes D.

    Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It’s the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)

        Water freezes at zero, so 10C is cold but only kinda cold.

        Humn body temperature is 37C so 30C is got but only kinda hot.

        +20 to +25 is the perfect temperature Below is cold, above is hot

        At 0, snow and ice form, so +10 is in the middle between your regular room temperature and freezing (i.e. jacket weather)

        +30 is the kind of weather when you better be naked or wearing lightest of clothes or you’re gonna get baked over time. Not deadly by any means, but highly uncomfortable.

          I take it in tens.

          -20° to -10° is full parka weather. Your breath freezes on your clothes and moisture in the air dries up.

          -10° to 0° is winter coat and scarf weather. Damp cold. Snow and ice but you don’t feel like your eyeballs are freezing.

          0° to 10° Jacket weather. Early spring temps. Pretty mild in either direction.

          10° - 20° Hoodie and t-shirt to taste. Basically the comfortable human range for most.

          20°- 30° T-shirt time. Anything above 25 is solidly in swimming weather territory.

          30°- 40° Time to seek some shade. Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are variable in this range the low end is a health risk for seniors the high end is a risk for even the hardcore heat lovers in their prime.

    Context is pretty easy. If you didn’t know what the C stood for than I guess…

    But we all remember that we have forgotten how to convert F to C without just asking the internet.
