Every year without fail. Beautiful, perfect weather then suddenly on Halloween…miserable cold snap (Degrees in F)

Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.

American here too.... I'm totally OK with switching to metric as long as we keep Fahrenheit for weather. It just makes so much more sense.

IMO it's not even about something making sense, we're just very accustomed to fahrenheit, so it feels more natural to us.

I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea about what's warm and cold in Celsius. I know 0 is quite cold, 20 is room temperature, and 100 is near instant death.

100 is near instant death.

Otherwise known as Dallas, Texas.

20 is a hot room, 15 is room temperature

10 - 30 is average for most weather in moderate parts of the world 5 - 10 is it cold night <3 and you have snow 50 would be a desert

15°C is way too cold as room temperature, 18 - 20°C is the minimum at which I'm comfortable

22-23 is where I'm comfortable.

Depends on the weather.

If it was 23 outside that would be hot. I don't want it that hot, my body is acclimatised to cooler temperatures.

I had my house up to 20 the other day and it was too hot and I had to open some windows.

How does it make more sense??? They're both just numbers in a scale, but at least one had a useful couple of data points.

I’m ok with Fahrenheit but would just make it easier if the whole world used the same, so I’d be cool with switching.

Celsius is an absolute measurement of a physical phenomenon, and can be tested to check its validity. Fahrenheit is a measurement of what some person a long time ago personally feel like at the time, and it's not even accurate for most humans.
