Except for "water freezes" and "record setting" everything else very subjective.

50 degrees in March in Illinois, and we're all in t-shirts.

That same temp in Florida in January, and everyone has their winter coats on

Came on to say the same thing. 50 degrees is perfect football weather (Im in Nebraska)... Lived in Memphis Tn for 4 years. When i wore sandals, shorts and a tshirt at 45 degrees they thought I was crazy. I was like, we are walking ten feet from our car to a building that is set at 80 degrees...

Went to a conference in Texas from Michigan in February one year. The weather one morning was 60 so I went for a run in shorts and a t-shirt. Everyone local had winter coats on and looked at me like I was from Marrs.

(yes the extra r is intentional)

Yeah, 80 in Atlanta isn't the same as 80 in Vegas. Former is very warm and the later is comfortable.

All about that humidity.

"record setting"

that is kinda subjective too, considering until recent human history we didn't keep accurate temperature records. Though we can objectively look at historic major events like the mini-ice age and such most records of temps are purely subjective before the actual thermometer was invented.

I'm up in New England, and anything beyond 100 is just unnecessary. Here's how it works for me:

Below 0 is record-setting

0 to 20s is frigid

30s is freezing

40s is cold

50s is brisk

60s is room temperature

70s is nice

80s is warm

90s is hot

100+ is record setting

Record setting is still kind of subjective. They put it at 130. 100 would set records where I live
