Hrm, everyone is different but I wouldn't consider living in a place like that.
PSA: 100 F is 37.7778C. Here is a relatively simple way to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in your head. You just need to remember three simple facts:
1. 32 F is exactly 0 C. 32 F is a nice round number that most people here probably come across a lot.
2. 50 F is exactly 10 C. Again, a nice and round number.
3. It's a linear relationship.
So every 18 F the temperature goes up by 10 C.
- cdumler 2y ago0C is cold 10C is cool 20C is nice 30C is warm 40C is hot
- yen223 2y agoAmericans are helping the rest of world get used to 70 degrees being nice weather
- happytoexplain 2y agoI feel like most people (or most people I've known, in the US East) would probably compress that: 10C cold 15C cool 20C nice 25C warm 30C hot
- steanne 2y agoi've heard 0C is cold 10C is not 20C is warm 30C is hot which rhymes
- ericyd 2y agoAnother rhyme 30 is hot 20 is nice 10 is cold 0 is ice
- Loranubi 2y agonon native speaker here: how does h"ot" and c"old" rhyme? it's a different 'o' sound and d/t is not exactly similar also.

- habinero 2y agoNo worries, you're correct, those lines don't rhyme. It's pretty common for English poetry and songs to only rhyme every other line
- steanne 2y agothey don't. in both cases, only every other line is rhyming. hot and not, ice and nice.
- happytoexplain 2y agoTo add to the other replies, here's the English page for rhyming schemes, which calls this pattern "XAXA". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme_scheme https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme_scheme A more notable version of the same idea, which includes more unrhymed lines, is double dactyl (XXXA XXXA). Though this is more for poetry/limerick, and not for mnemonics.
- jltsiren 2y ago-30°C is too cold -20°C is uncomfortably cold -10°C is cold Around 0°C, temperature is not the issue. Water, snow, and ice are. +5°C is cool +10°C is nice and cool +15°C is nice +20°C is nice and warm +25°C is warm +30°C is hot +35°C is uncomfortably hot +40°C is too hot
- happytoexplain 2y agoI take it you're from somewhere a bit north :)
- kryptec 2y agoThis is my range
- Perenti 2y agoHere in Brisbane we get wicked humidity, which means that even 27C can be disgusting. As a child I lived in the Wimmera, which is quite dry, and 35C was nice.
- rufus_foreman 2y agoPersonally, I think 74F degrees is to hot, 72F is normal, 70F is too cool. What's all that in C?
- smusamashah 2y ago0c = very very cold 10c = very cold 15c = cold 20c = cool 25c = nice 30c = i want air blown at me 35c = need more air (roughly the same for 37) 40c = its hot, need cool air 45c+ = very hot, do something
- mjklin 2y ago82 F = 28 C is where I usually start
- paulddraper 2y agoDepends how much time you spend outside. Some people live in places that are sub-freezing for 100 days in a row.
- foobarian 2y agoAlso handy if you live up north, -40C == -40F
- Izkata 2y agoThe equation is "F = C * 9 / 5 + 32", and reversed, "C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9" If you're just quickly doing it in your head, "F = C * 2 + 30" and "C = (F - 30) / 2" are pretty close.
- moi2388 2y agoYes, but even better would be: fahrenheit to celcius: ((F-32)/2)+10% So: 100F = 100-32=68/2=34+3.4=37.4 (actual 37.7) 32F = 0/2=0 50F = 50-32=18/2=9+10%=9.9 (actual 10) I prefer this heuristic, since after taking the 32 difference, it’s just halving and adding 10%, which is very easily and quickly done mentally (as compared to (5/9)
