How warm is your place?

[Arwon]

A customary take here might be:

The 40s is dangerous

The high 30s is too hot and time to ask why men don't get to wear shorts at the office

The low 30s is hot for me but my wife likes it and is normal in the tropics

The 20s is nice

The high teens is cool but nice for me

The low teens is too cold for my wife and still probably okay for me with a single thin jumper

The single digits is cold and too cold for most Australians who don't know how to layer

The negatives are very cold

Anything beyond about -5 means it's 3am on a bad July night in Canberra or you're up at the snowfields

... but I think I'd feel incredibly stressed in your place.

OMG yes. You know how it drives people crazy ti have someone look over their shoulder when they work? Now, take that feeling, multiply it by a restaurant full of people, all of whom are hungry and therefore irritable and hypercritical.

0F to 10F ~~ freezing your tushy off, beware going outside ~~ -18C to -12C
10F to 20F ~~ extreme cold, watch for fast frostbite ~~ -12C to -7C
20F to 30F ~~ really cold, bundle up! ~~ -7C to -1C
30F to 40F ~~ mostly cold, you're going to need a heavy coat ~~ -1C to 4C
40F to 50F ~~ chilly, jacket, hat, and/or sweater weather ~~ 4C to 10C
50F to 60F ~~ bit cool, probably need a sweater ~~ 10C to 16C
60F to 70F ~~ pretty comfortable, you can probably dress however you want ~~ 16C to 21C
70F to 80F ~~ extremely pleasant, great for activity without overstressing ~~ 21C to 27C
80F to 90F ~~ quite hot, excellent weather for swimming ~~ 27C to 32C
90F to 100F ~~ roasting, you'll need to work hard to keep cool ~~ 32C to 38C

This is accurate except you should have left it at 30F to 39F and then 41F to 50F.

All you with your slave degrees we got freedom in America. I even translate freely for your European asses FAHRENHEIT RULES

Pfffffft! Octogesimal Division FTW!

Look I’m all for freedom degrees but I’m not about to click the link of some whackj a fuggetit I’m clicking it

 

[Truthy]

That's even worse than celsius

 

[Hygro]

Yo seriously I should have trusted my first instinct.

Thermodynamic beta?

It doesn't say something to you that Europeans invented it but stopped using it long ago (except some Brits)? You're using our rejects.

What? I can’t hear you over this 85 degree weather.

Our house stays 66 year round. My heat bills are low, my AC bills June-August are insanely expensive. We run hot in my house I guess cus even in winter I'll wear t shirts and shorts at 66 in the house. I love it at night though cus I sleep only in shorts under a medium comforter all year round.

 

[Cheetah]

Interesting results. Had expected more votes, and generally I'm surprised people don't prefer it warmer than 21°C-ish.

What? I can’t hear you over this 85 degree weather.

I can only assume you're almost being boiled alive...

When you're talking about a temperature scale to describe how humans feel about air temp, you have to consider feelings as part of your objective reasoning.

But the thresholds you have for your feelings are arbitrary, in that the rest of us have the same intuitive thresholds with respect to the Celsius scale.

If we should try to choose one for being more useful to humans, I'd go for a somewhat arbitrary threshold myself: The Celsius scale is at 0° when water freezes (more or less). If nothing else, that has an impact if one is walking around with wet hair.

It also starts expanding (technically from 4°), which also has lots of issues and applications in daily life.

Since it's winter, 21-22C, then shortly before I go to bed I cut it down to 19C. In the summer I'll keep it all the way up to 25.5 to save big bucks on the AC and the heat doesn't bother me any, as long as the humidity is under control.

 

[Old Hippy]

here in Melbourne
it's a bueatifull day of 26C (78.F) with a wisp of cloud in the clear blue sky
it sure is better than the week before Chrismass where it was 44C (111F)

 

[H4run]

up from 28 mostly, I found living in a cold place is more clean because of less bugs and insects. I hate flies, cockroach and mosquito, I declare war on them.
