    It just boils down down to which you’ve grown up with. You’re so used to using F it just seems obvious, but at least to me, the numbers seem a bit random and arbitrary.

    But I know that 0C is literally freezing out and that the roads and pavements could be icy. And I also know that 30C is a very hot day (to me) just through experience and not knowing any other scale and being exposed to C all the time.

      0°F is literally freezing outside too

      32°C is 90°F

      90°F is a very hot day. Extremely hot is 100°F (38°C).

      50°F is where you’d slowly die being naked.

      75°F is room temperature

      25°F water is definitely frozen

      Hot tubs are 100°F

      Saunas are 200°F

      -20°C to 40°C

      Or

      0°F to 100°F

      10°C is about 50°F

      20°C is about 75°F

      -20,(-10), 0, 10, 20, (30), 40

      Or

      0, (14), 25, 50, 75, (86), 100

      They are both easy once you know the scale

      -40° is where they both line up.
