Hmm, I have the same intuitive feeling with Celsius. I guess it depend on which temperature system you grew up with.

- raldi 12y agoAs I suggested on a parallel reply, could you say a bit more about why you feel it makes sense, perhaps with a chart like the one I wrote up?
- hrbrtglm 12y agoWell, I think it's just the same as you except 0 is the freezing point and not what seems like an an arbitrary 32 Farenheit for us.

- nabla9 12y agoAll natural extremes fit within +100 and -100 beautifully. 110 - sauna is too hot 100 - water boils in one atmosphere 50 - desert hot (record is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) Death Valley, California, U.S.A. 10 July 1913) 30 - hot (for a finn) 25 - nice hot 20 - use more clothes below this 0 - water freezes, ice forms on roads, lakes etc. -10 - cold but OK with good clothes -20 - this starts to be so cold were you need to prepare yourself well if you want to spend more than an hour outside. Temperature inside freezer. -30 - extreme colds start. You don't enjoy this even when prepared and using good clothes. -40 - Winter War conditions -50 - record breaking extremes −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) Vostok Station 21 July 1983 -110 Kriotherapy room for treating joint inflammation
- chrismcb 12y agoF was designed for humans, while C is apparently designed for water. Half of your list talks about what water does, or are fairly meaningless numbers to humans. While pretty much every number on the GPs list is relevant to humans. That is the big difference. In day to day life, the average human doesn't really need to know what temp water changes state. They want to know how comfortable they will be.
- yongjik 12y agoI take it that you never tasted a cucumber partly frozen because your fridge went a bit overzealous... We (and most things we eat, and all that white shitty stuff that blocks your commute in a winter day) are made mostly of water. The difference between -1C and 1C can be pretty significant, unlike the difference between -1F (fucking cold) and 1F (duh, fucking cold). * Well, of course all of this is silly pissing match between groups of people who grew up with their favorite measure system, but anyway...
- 0x006A 12y agoHumans are 80% Water.
- merrua 12y agoThis pretty good. I'd put in 40, so hot you forget it gets this hot (for northern europeans).
- tacticus 12y agoi should move to northern europe :\ 40 (as a max) was a not overly bad summer day
- peteretep 12y agoFor the British: 100 - Boiling water, cuppa tea 50 - Lawrence of Arabia 25 - The Great British Summer! Won't last, anyway 12.5 - Wear a jumper 6.25 - Wear a parka 0 - water freezes -6.25 - Heathrow shuts down -12.5 - Daily Mail reports weather causes cancer -25 - Coldest reported weather in the UK -50 - "I am just going outside and may be some time"
- kybernetyk 12y agoHmm, I just learned that below 10 degrees C it's cold, 20 is ok and 30 is hot. 0 is water freezing, 100 is water boiling. Maybe I'm missing out on something but I never felt the need for a chart.
- Eleutheria 12y agoFrom where I live, in C: 50 Summer time 40 Average hot day 30 Average cool day 20 WTF is going on? Did hell freeze over? It never goes below twenty.
- rantanplan 12y ago50C summer time??? Where do you live? The sahara desert? BTW you seem to have a greek name but you definitely don't live in Greece! We do have some hot weather here, but definitely not in the range you described.
