If those Americans could read they'd be very upset.

Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I'd take offense if I could; but you're right... I think... idk, I can't think. I'm not upset, you're upset!
What's an up set?
I just use
30°C is hot, 20°C is nice 10°C is cold, 0°C is ice.
Obviously that won't apply everywhere, but in milder climates it works pretty good.
And 40°C is the melting point of the human brain.
Which goes some way towards explaining some of the decisions happening in Florida, Texas and Arizona during their ridiculously hot summers..
and 30C° is a typo
It's the best way to think about it because if you're always doing the calculation in your head you still always think in Fahrenheit first. Just get the feeling for Celcius instead of trying to shoehorn a worse system in (as a user of said worse system myself).
All those are still shorts weather.
For the other Americans that came into the thread hoping to see a conversion:
- 10c = 50f
- 30c = 86f
Edit: I'd like to note that 10c is a very reasonable temperature for shorts. I'm a Minnesotan (basically Canada lite (please annex us)), people start raising eyebrows at around 0C
F = C * 1.8 + 32
Just want to leave this here
Oh come on. Now you expect us to learn math too??
its true, legs are immune to cold. shorts and a jacket is a reasonable outfit
0C? Fellow Minnesotan here and I've definitely seen plent of people wearing shorts at temps below -5C. But I'm also in a college town so that may change things.
I once amusedly watched girls sunbathe in bikinis at St. Lawrence University with patches of snow nearby in, I think March.
Conversely, I personally wore shorts and a tee one fine vacation in Florida around Christmas. It was 60f, and everybody was running around in jackets looking like they were in Chicago in January.
Paraphrasing an old meme:
Fahrenheit - how hot humans feel
Celsius - how hot water feels
Kelvin - how hot atoms feel
C° or °C bud?
Jokes on you. I'm an american who works with scientific equipment so I mainly work in Celsius. Also live in Minnesota so we get the best of both worlds. Last winter hit almost -30C at times meanwhile tomorrow has a high of 39C with almost 70% humidity.
I was going to make the joke that Minnesotan kids definitely know what -40°C is.
I moved up here from Florida to get out of this kind of heat and humidity. Thanks Minnesota. This is miserable.
Minnesota is just lower Manitoba, you get the same insane 80c temperature variance
Americans know about °C, but what the hell is C°?
It's °C, but the temperature increases exponentially with every higher number
I certainly know what degrees Celsius are, but I have no idea what Celsius degrees are supposed to be.
Fuck it, it's 8 o'clock and 28°C with 60% already. We are not used to this shit here.

Here's a rough C° primer for Americans
0° or below, fucking cold
1° - 10° cold
11° - 20° cool
21° - 30° warm
31° - 40° hot
41° or above - Jesus Christ I'm on fire!
As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.
-10° - -1° very cold
0° Water freezes
1° - 5° Cold
6° - 10° cool
11° - 16° warm
17° - 25° hot
26° - 30 very hot
Yup. Where I live we have seen down to -20F (during that time texas almost lost their power grid) and up to 115F.
Its currently 110F. Aka, hot.
Or, -28c to 46C. Currently 43C. And 40% humidity. Feels horrible.
I prefer free health care units
I don’t know if they stopped, but American kids at least used to be taught both Celsius and Fahrenheit. At least in some parts anyway. I was taught both as a kid, with my school largely banning the use of Fahrenheit by staff on campus even, for instance.
Why does the US live rent free in so many European's heads all the time?
Because each time we look for some English content, they use some dumb fantasy metrics based on the size fo the feet of a king for some reason, and we need to look up a converter to change it to a metric used in 195 different countries.
Shorts in 10C is standard practice for me. Really not that cold for us in the NorthWest. Now if we're talking Southern Californians 10C is heavy winter jacket weather.
American here. Always knew C temps.
10 c cool 20 c perfect 30 c ok I need shade and a body of water 40 c wtf 50 c I’m dead
-5C your pee freezes when it hits the ground -25C you pee freezes internally -35C you pack the floofier sleeping bag for camping
30 is hot 20 is nice 10 is cold 0 is ice
Let's ignore the fact that celsius is taught in American schools because "hAha AMeRiCa bAd beCauSe nO MeTric."
It’s taught but not really for weather. So while I know the boiling and freezing points of various substances in Celsius, I don’t have instant recognition when I hear a Celsius temperature, I have to convert it in my head.
Double Celsius and add 30. It'll get you close enough for environment temps.
10*2 is 20, plus 30 = 50.
(10°C × 9/5) + 32 = 50°F
30 doubled is 60, plus 30 is 90.
(30°C × 9/5) + 32 = 86°F
10°C is mild af. Who tf doesn't wear shorts when it's 50F?
If you want to sound more metal, tell people how cold it is in celsius. Was it kinda cold or was it in the negatives?
I find it easier to just remember the approximate table.
0C = 30F
10C = 50F
20C = 70F
30C = 90F
Me, an American, laughs in PC temperatures always being in C
Just admit it, Celsius is garbage, use Kelvin cowards. Also this: Temperature scales
