Granted. Celsius now range from 0 to 50

Edit: ... or whatever unit you prefer. It's still the same

wdym range from 0 to 50?

0 is the freezing point of water 50 is the boiling point.

If it's 30°c outside, it will be only be 15 after the wish, thus fit what the character said

30°C is 303.15K, half 151.575K is a nice and chilly -121.575°C lower than any recorded temp on earth by about 21°C. When working with monkeys paw or genies always declare your units and reference frames.
