I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…
Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…
F = C*(9/5)+32
If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8
To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose
Cº is the final boss of the C family of programming languages, once you've sharpened your senses to an objective double plus level of holy, minus any rust, you can finally get the degree.
+20 to +25 is the perfect temperature
Below is cold, above is hot
At 0, snow and ice form, so +10 is in the middle between your regular room temperature and freezing (i.e. jacket weather)
+30 is the kind of weather when you better be naked or wearing lightest of clothes or you're gonna get baked over time. Not deadly by any means, but highly uncomfortable.
-20° to -10° is full parka weather. Your breath freezes on your clothes and moisture in the air dries up.
-10° to 0° is winter coat and scarf weather. Damp cold. Snow and ice but you don't feel like your eyeballs are freezing.
0° to 10° Jacket weather. Early spring temps. Pretty mild in either direction.
10° - 20° Hoodie and t-shirt to taste. Basically the comfortable human range for most.
20°- 30° T-shirt time. Anything above 25 is solidly in swimming weather territory.
30°- 40° Time to seek some shade. Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are variable in this range the low end is a health risk for seniors the high end is a risk for even the hardcore heat lovers in their prime.
I mean, Americans know 0C is the freezing temperature of water and 100C is the boiling temperature of water, so even with that most basic information taught in like, First Grade Science, people can understand the meme.
People wearing shorts in the cold vs people wearing jackets in the heat.
I learned it in First Grade and nearly everyone I have talked to did as well, and I am in California which is rated as the #40 best state for public education, which puts me technically near the bottom. So unless someone happens to come from a state that is lower than California (10 states in descending order where last is worst: TN, FL, NC, OK, SC, AL, NM, NV, LA, or AZ), then chances are very tiny that they were not taught that basic fact in grade school, which was then repeatedly used in every science class afterwards.
They got Canada right, then I thought c degrees is a joke because australia inverted or something, but then American is also c degrees, so I'm thinking OP of the meme also needs some more clarity.
When I lived in Minnesota the shorts came out when we warmed up to even 1C. Yeah I'm American but I've lived a couple of years in Europe and I can math so I know what a C is. I still prefer F. But my wife likes D.
They are when the temperature is still relatively sane but uncomfortable. But once you get into severe temperature zones, it don't mean shit. Like yeah 90F in Chicago is gonna feel about as hot as 110F in Phoenix because of the humidity. Anything over that is just reeeeeeeel fuckin hot regardless. I just spent a week in the Grand Canyon last summer and you use all kinds of innovative ways to stay cool in the 120F heat. But for some reason in the early evening when it would hit 130F it just felt like an oven no matter what you did. 10/10 trip tho would absolutely do it again!
My limit is basically -18C (0F). But I don't spend any time outside in that state. Parking lot to work entrance. I've gone an entire year no long pants.
Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It's the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)
It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.
It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.
You don't need to do a conversion, you can just learn them intuitively. 0 is dangerously cold, 10 is cold, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot, 40 is dangerously hot.
A lot of it is individual adaptation. People in colder climates may wear clothing very similar to people in warmer climates, but are just used to the colder temperatures. Someone from a colder country would probably end up getting heat stroke in your country while wearing the same clothing as you.
Whoah there, 20c° is shorts weather, let’s not get carried away. In winter, it’s a comfy setting for the thermostat (speaking from New England). If it were 32c°, I’m sitting inside in air conditioning
30c is the perfect temperature. It's not hot it's nice. 40c is fine if you drink water and use shade. It's like saying 5c is dangerous bc it can kill you if you don't wear a jacket.
0 is when snow turns to ice, so slipping becomes a thing to be aware of. But more like -5 to -10 degrees since direct sunlight tends to melt it. It's not really that cold unless you're sitting naked outside.
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should've seen the looks I'd get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
It's not long pants season until it hits 0C for some folks in New England. Ain't nobody wearing a jacket up to 30C though. The humidity kills up here, that would just be murder. It can get up to 40C, but we're generally all miserable then.
And yeah, I had to convert the temps online to make sure I knew what I was talking about. Well, minus 0C, I know that one.
I'm in a ski town in Colorado so you get the full mix here, but yeah by March it's t-shirt weather for the locals, tourists still show up dressed for an arctic expedition but whatever. Hell, isn't even the funniest thing that comes up, the resort does a costume week every spring so I did formal day in a dress shirt and tie on a fixie, which is a pretty physically intensive job. Favorite remark was a regular in the back of the line yelling "[name expunged] are you fucking bumping chairs in a tie?"
What your body considers cold depends on what it is used to. My body is used to Texas weather and I consider 10 c (50 f) to be hoodie and pant weather.
You might consider that to mean my body is used to a very hot temperature. But I've been on trips to places closer to the equator where, at 18 c (65 f), I would be wearing shorts and the locals are wearing their thickest sweaters (which are pretty light by my standards).
There are Siberians out there who might consider what you consider to be cold to not be that cold.
I just wear shorts in whatever wether I haven't worn a pair of pants in almost 2 years if you exclude my uniform for a thing that I don't know to tell you
Fahrenheit makes more sense for gauging human comfort. Most people can sense the difference in 1°F. Celsius crams half the degrees between boiling and freezing into one scale.
A difference of 10°F is notable, 10°C is quite notable. 60's is cool, 80's is hot. Now do a 20° difference in C. 16 to 26 doesn't sound like a big difference.
Celsius works better for almost every other useful measurement. Go Kelvin if you must.
It only makes sense to you because you're accustomed to it, not because it's innately better at "gauging human comfort". All of us who grew up using metric know how to gauge comfort with Celsius. None of us bother with decimal fractions of a degree because there isn't a big enough difference between degrees to do so, so your argument about granularity falls apart pretty quick there. You lot don't have trouble with miles despite kilometres being more granular do you?
Montreal Hotels had .5°C indications. I'll stick to °F for human comfort. km/h is the same problem in a way, I need three digits to represent reasonable highway speeds.
This is literally just you being used to one system but not the other. 16 to 26 sounds like a massive difference to me because it is. And decimals exist.
Hard disagree. Grew up in the US and moved to metric land. If we really need to, we can use .x (i.e. 10ths of a degree). However, not even my heat/aircon has half degrees. People seem to have no issue with it in 98.6 degrees (body temperature i.e. 37c) having decimals.
No, 30 degrees is freezing temperature. 10 Degrees is below freezing. It should be very cold and chilly and these people should take the proper precautions, such as wearing coats and snow pants.
I don’t think anyone knows what a C° is
Most every kid who has taken high school science should know what °C is, though
A C degree is an okay degree.
C’s get degrees
I'm doing my best not to prove that right, but I'm proving it right... especially math. I love it, but it does not love me.
Hey… D stands for Diploma.
B stands for “Better than I thought I’d do.”
And A is for Addicted to Adderall

Hence the meme face below it.
I'm american and I know 10 C isn't even that cold because it's above freezing
I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…
Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…

I'm American and I don't know what 30 C is, but at 70 F, we're wearing jackets.
Just over 20.
Maybe in southern parts of the US, but in the northeast it's t-shirt weather for sure
how is °C written incorrectly twice? it was already correct in the first part of the meme

Okay, buddy.
Cº is the final boss of the C family of programming languages, once you've sharpened your senses to an objective double plus level of holy, minus any rust, you can finally get the degree.
It goes :
C°
C
C++
C++++ (or C# if you're tight for space)
C+ and C+++ were test versions that weren't widely deployed.
This guy got his C degrees.
C goatse
Ok, that was clever
We'd be very pissed if we could read.
Canadians wearing shorts when cold.
Australians wearing jackets when hot.
(I inferred this through context. Ha!)
Yes me too. I admit the illustrations did help.
Are we really bragging about understanding context clues?
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8but I still can't comprehend Celsius 🫠+20 to +25 is the perfect temperature Below is cold, above is hot
At 0, snow and ice form, so +10 is in the middle between your regular room temperature and freezing (i.e. jacket weather)
+30 is the kind of weather when you better be naked or wearing lightest of clothes or you're gonna get baked over time. Not deadly by any means, but highly uncomfortable.
I take it in tens.
-20° to -10° is full parka weather. Your breath freezes on your clothes and moisture in the air dries up.
-10° to 0° is winter coat and scarf weather. Damp cold. Snow and ice but you don't feel like your eyeballs are freezing.
0° to 10° Jacket weather. Early spring temps. Pretty mild in either direction.
10° - 20° Hoodie and t-shirt to taste. Basically the comfortable human range for most.

Yep, perfectly reasonable
I just applied mine to the temps in the OP :)
Humidity is also a thing to account for. I'll take 40° at 10% RH over 28° at 90% any day.
10° to 20° is definitely t shirt and shorts territory tho
Depends, I am increasingly a shorts year round Canadian so yes? But I feel like it's also acceptable hoodie and pants weather. Hence "to taste".
Water freezes at zero, so 10C is cold but only kinda cold.
Humn body temperature is 37C so 30C is got but only kinda hot.
I mean, Americans know 0C is the freezing temperature of water and 100C is the boiling temperature of water, so even with that most basic information taught in like, First Grade Science, people can understand the meme.
People wearing shorts in the cold vs people wearing jackets in the heat.
You overestimate the public education system in my state; especially when I was in grade school.
(I thought it was 100°F boiling and 0°F was freezing)
Maybe you're just dumb. That's always a possibility
That’s what I was implying.
That'd make sense! But instead, Fahrenheit is based around the body temperature of a pig.
I’m curious where you heard that? Obviously a statement like that made me want to know more, but I’m not finding any information about it.
Bro.... Brooooooo.... I'm jealous of your faith in the american education system.
I learned it in First Grade and nearly everyone I have talked to did as well, and I am in California which is rated as the #40 best state for public education, which puts me technically near the bottom. So unless someone happens to come from a state that is lower than California (10 states in descending order where last is worst: TN, FL, NC, OK, SC, AL, NM, NV, LA, or AZ), then chances are very tiny that they were not taught that basic fact in grade school, which was then repeatedly used in every science class afterwards.

C degrees?
100 degrees? That's pretty hot out.
Id go as far as saying it would be boiling
They got Canada right, then I thought c degrees is a joke because australia inverted or something, but then American is also c degrees, so I'm thinking OP of the meme also needs some more clarity.
I live in Morocco and I’ve seen people wearing thick winter jackets in 45c, and then they’ll complain about it being too hot.

48 degrees F. Really isn't.
When I lived in Minnesota the shorts came out when we warmed up to even 1C. Yeah I'm American but I've lived a couple of years in Europe and I can math so I know what a C is. I still prefer F. But my wife likes D.
Been wearing mine into the minus numbers in the UK. Doesn't really get dangerously cold here, except for freak weather events.
Translation: Alaskans wearing shorts, Texans wearing jackets.
Humidity and wind chill are more important than temperature IMO.
They are when the temperature is still relatively sane but uncomfortable. But once you get into severe temperature zones, it don't mean shit. Like yeah 90F in Chicago is gonna feel about as hot as 110F in Phoenix because of the humidity. Anything over that is just reeeeeeeel fuckin hot regardless. I just spent a week in the Grand Canyon last summer and you use all kinds of innovative ways to stay cool in the 120F heat. But for some reason in the early evening when it would hit 130F it just felt like an oven no matter what you did. 10/10 trip tho would absolutely do it again!
I mean, we know what ice and fire mean. And believe it or not, we know where both Canada and Australia are.
Australia is where Mozart is from, so that one is easy!
😁
My limit is basically -18C (0F). But I don't spend any time outside in that state. Parking lot to work entrance. I've gone an entire year no long pants.
I'm sure the neighbors are worried when I'm in shorts and flippy floppies cleaning snow off of the cars, but meh.
If all you do is go from house to car to building, then ya, you can get away with that
Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It's the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)
CC is also metric, so it's impossible for an American to understand
I mean it's a ten base system it's dead easy ... You still got all your fingers right?
I use my fingers to count to 12. Dozenal or Death!
Big assumption about a country without universal health care and a storied love of fireworks.
I didn't assume. I asked :-p
Fair
x*1.8+32 = how you convert to °Freedom. We know how, we just don't acknowledge your °Communist temperature measurement.
slaps hood Times two plus thirty gets you there when you see the C.
It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.
It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.
You don't need to do a conversion, you can just learn them intuitively. 0 is dangerously cold, 10 is cold, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot, 40 is dangerously hot.
That's the joke...?
I wouldn't say that 0C is dangerous cold. For me, that's more like -20C, and -30C is really quite unpleasant.
it depends on the cloth you have
I live in a very warm country
I literally don't have clothes that I could use if the temperature got negative
A lot of it is individual adaptation. People in colder climates may wear clothing very similar to people in warmer climates, but are just used to the colder temperatures. Someone from a colder country would probably end up getting heat stroke in your country while wearing the same clothing as you.
Under 20c is cold, 32c is ideal and 42c+ is not.
Whoah there, 20c° is shorts weather, let’s not get carried away. In winter, it’s a comfy setting for the thermostat (speaking from New England). If it were 32c°, I’m sitting inside in air conditioning
20c is pants and jacket time! 32c is the high everyday. It's just normal and certainly not hot.
30c is the perfect temperature. It's not hot it's nice. 40c is fine if you drink water and use shade. It's like saying 5c is dangerous bc it can kill you if you don't wear a jacket.
30c + 90% humidity of Brisbane disagrees.
That's funny because I was thinking Brisbane has perfect weather.
0 is when snow turns to ice, so slipping becomes a thing to be aware of. But more like -5 to -10 degrees since direct sunlight tends to melt it. It's not really that cold unless you're sitting naked outside.
Ok, Buddy.
2.54cm is easier for me because I do
2.04x + ½x.8 inches?
16.32 + 4 = 20.3212?
24.48 + 6 = 30.4830?
61.20 + 15 = 76.2060?
122.40 + 30 = 152.40I don't know why, but I find this easier. Maybe because it's 4x, 2x, and ½ and my brain doesn't like adding 32 and working in 1.8.
It’s compared to what the temperature was the previous month/what your body is used to
This. I wear a t-shirt and shorts after winter when it's 10°C but I wear a jacket after summer when it's 20°C.
Lol 30°C is still nice, compared to those 37°+ that we get now
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should've seen the looks I'd get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.

Context is pretty easy. If you didn't know what the C stood for than I guess...
But we all remember that we have forgotten how to convert F to C without just asking the internet.
Then there's the temperateur, controlling the thermostat in France.

That is a factual statement
What your body considers cold depends on what it is used to. My body is used to Texas weather and I consider 10 c (50 f) to be hoodie and pant weather.

Cold and hot are relative.
I know that, its just a joke...
Even muricans will see it's thrice as warm /s
Damn, you got me.

Multiply by 2 and add 32 right?

If the number 100 takes you appreciably longer to process than 60, you probably aren't qualified to be driving anyway.
It's like talking to an American who keeps asserting they don't have an accent. If they don't get it immediately, they're probably not going to.
