Anything below 10°F is actively dangerous. Anything above 110°F is actively dangerous.

NYC barely ever reaches 0°F according to this site:

Seriously, NYC is closer to having regular 100°F weather than 0°F and it is in the Northern US!

In other terms: -18°C is extremely fucking cold, 38°C is just regular hot.

    I grew up in Rochester NY, and there are many days with a zero or subzero windchill. Once it gets below 0°F, it is definitely actively dangerous. I’ve waited for a school bus in 7 to 10°F weather without issues.
