Yeah but there's no threshold temperature for hot. It being 105f isn't much different to being 95f.

But being sub zero is significant because water freezes which fundamentally changes your outdoors experience.

    As someone who lives in an area where it frequently hits 95 to 105, there absolutely is a difference, especially when it's usually very high humidity here either way. 105 is too miserable to be outdoors unless necessary. 95 you could go to a park or the beach

    Ooh, tell me you've never lived somewhere where both of those temperatures happen without saying exactly that

    Those are very different heats

    You're fundamentally missing the point of my comment.

    Also I've lived in Cyprus in 45°c heat, so yes I do understand the difference .

    To make my point again. The difference between 99f and 101f is purely one of temperature. Unlike 1c and -1c where alongside the temperature change, it's also now cold enough to freeze water, so you can have ice on roads and paths, it can snow and the air will be much dryer. So there is Ana actual threshold at 0c, whereas there isn't one at 100f
