    European here! For me it’s…

    Celcius:

    0 = Water freezes

    100 = Water boils

    Fahrenheit as far as I can tell:

    ~100 = Hot enough that it shows up on the news

    ~400-450 = Cooking, because our stove is in Fahrenheit for some unknown reason.

    All other temperatures in F = no idea.

    Cause 30C is warm but 39C is heat stroke. Bigger range than 80-89F (warm to really warm), 90-99F (hot to really hot), 100F+ (heat stroke hot).

        We don’t even need that for weather. There’s not that much of a difference between 21 and 22 C, and anyway with wind and shade you can quickly have a difference of a few degrees.

          That’s why weather is not just temperature, regardless of the used scale. But to ask you the same, what’s the difference between 110°F and 111°F?
