The heck is 50% hot out? How is that even helpful lmao
28°c is a nice weather but 82.4°f(or 82.4% hot) sounds unlivable.
Lol 82.4°F is hot af. Depending on the humidity it could be quite uncomfortable.
Truly unlivable would be anything over 100.
50 is fairly mild. Cool, but not really cold at all. Long sleeves, pants, maybe a light jacket weather.
Sauna
Are you trying to say people can live in a sauna? The whole point is they're so hot you can't (safely) stay in them too long.
I'm obviously not saying that people spontaneously combust above that temp.
You can for a while
No it's not, as i live in the equator, and that's the issue i have with fahrenheit. The whole thing is devoid of context and people think it makes sense naturally.
82.4°f is pretty decent weather. Unlivable is more like 100°f+, hence the "100% hot" scale. Nice weather would be 75°f, which makes sense when you think of it in terms of the "0-100% hot" scale.
I agree that other things like distance, volume, etc are better in metric. I really wish the US would just standardize metric UOM in general. But I do think fahrenheit is better for temperature.
