Yeah but C makes more sense. 0-10 is cold but not freezing, 10-20 is cool, 20-30 is warm, 30-40 is hot, 40+ is “you’re gonna die of heat exposure! Get inside, what are you doing?!” increasing in urgency with the number. If it’s in the negatives, it’s the same as the 40+ except “cold exposure”.
It makes more sense in terms of our perception. But from a science perspective Klevin Kelvin makes more sense since you can’t go lower than 0 K and negative temperature doesn’t really make sense, since it’d mean something like negative energy.
VERY generally speaking, 20s are warm, 30s are hot. Humidity changes this a lot. And yes, personal sensitivity to heat plays a role. I live in a dry climate, and I feel rather comfortable until we’re close to 30 ºC. I remember reading something like the ideal room temperature for humans was around 20-22 ºC.
For those using F, this is, more or less, the scale of C:
Below 0: freezing (0 ºC being the freezing point of water, duh!)
0 to 10: cold (don’t go out without a coat)
10s: cool (a sweatshirt or light coat may do)
20s: warm
30s: hot
40s: uncomfortably hot (stay in the shade and hydrate)
50s: you’re dead (or you wish you were. Unsafe for humans)
Hot is still relative. Are you talking about soup, a cup of coffee/tea or outside temperature? People would probably answer differently in each instance.
Well… I said VERY generally speaking. And as I’m defining a gradient of temperatures (clearly it’s not the same 30 °C than 38 °C), I’m also defining a gradient of “hot” sensations, from feeling a bit of heat in your body, to feeling like an oven. That’s the thing with generalizations. I’m not trying to be precise here, just give a general idea to those that are not used to Celsius (I’ve seen the same being done with Farenheit and found it useful). Cheers.
“How hot is it, honey?”
“Not a lot, just 298.15 K”

A lord.
C++ is better ofc /s
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, Rust?
NO SOLICITING!
I wouldn’t say it corresponds between negative and positive. -20 is already a lot more dangerous than 40.
Depends where you live, I guess. I don’t really consider -20 to be dangerous but I live in Canada so I know how to dress for cold weather.
Canada is dry. Humidity is the other Killing factor there.
Also 0 is freezing so it can’t snow unless the temperature is below zero.
It very well can, it just won’t stick around.
And 100 is boiling, so cooking is easier

I’ve always thought it’s like: 0- is freezing, 10 is cold, 20 is ok, 30 is hot, 40+ is hell
Above 25 is hot, 30 is hell, 40+ is dead for me
298.15 - 273,5 so its 24.65°C? I’d argue that is a lot. But i may just be heat sensitive
Edit: fixed typo Edit2: fixed another typo. I gotta start proof reading before sending

Not a lot, to be honest.
Well into winter?!
Yes. It used to be around 27°C, but you know, climate change and stuff. The temperature in my hometown is around 35 °C.
That’s not a lot IMHO. It’s quite warm, but not hot.
