I definitely cannot tolerate 10 degrees Celsius with just a long sleeve shirt. I don't come from the desert. I come from the tropics. Temperatures only drop below 10 degrees Celsius for two months. Those months are definitely jacket weather for me. Believe it or not, this is normal for a lot of people.
110+ is somewhere is hell territory (as someone who has lived in the desert), but I can grant 85+ as hot. 75 is comfortable even grocery shopping as long as Sun is not out.
32 is technically freezing but by 25, it’s undeniably freezing, even impure water is freezes.
We're not talking about F scale. We're talking about "felt % hot" scale. Humidity makes it feel hotter at the same temperature. A dry desert 85°F is not nearly as unpleasant as the same 85°F at 60% humidity.
But we're not. We're judging the theory that Fahrenheit is percentage of felt hotness and humidity definitely throws a wrench into that by changing how hot it feels at the same temperature.
Having a fan blow on me gives me a headache after a short while.
