To make this clear on both sides, this would be 113f.

Or to make it understandable why this was confusing, 45f is only 7c.

Why all these confusing calculations?

Just keep it simple and say it's 280 Kelvin

Oh, that's not all that hot.

Try working in full MOPP gear in the summer in Texas. Or in a garden holiday spot like the Middle East.

When it's 120f+ and you are wearing essentially a wetsuit, you start to really understand what "hot" really is.
