No need to convert. 0 to 40 is the part of the scale for weather, where 0 is dangerously cold and 40 is dangerously hot.

What's 28° C? How can I envision in my mind what that means?

0-40 as a scale. 28 is about 3/4 between the two. So it's towards the hotter side but how far into it?

It's 82.4° F

Low 80s. I know exactly how low 80's feel.

0-100 is easy to compare with %

82.4° F is 82% hot.

Humans like it around 75% hot between 50-100.

So 82° is hot but not pushing 90s

You can get a general idea of temperature very easy.

40 ain't dangerously hot. Temperature reaches 50°C in some parts of the world.

35°C with 100% humidity can be fatal to humans

46°C with 50% humidity can be fatal to humans

Humans can not survive for extended lengths at these temperatures and humidities.

Saying "40 ain't dangerously hot" is dumb.

It can reach almost 50C right here in the US, even.

56.7° C is the hottest temperature ever recorded. It was in the US.
