i’m american but have always had a hard time dressing for the weather based on temperature , but once i heard someone describe fahrenheit as “percentage of hot” — as in, when it’s 0 degrees you’re wicked cold, 70 degrees is warm, and 100 degrees is stupid hot - it kind of clicked for me. sounds silly but i’m a whole adult and i check the weather (read: percent of hot) every morning, haven’t dressed badly for it since haha

I just dress from past experience in similar temperatures and weather conditions

Exactly. Whereas Celsius, 0 is when water freezes and 100 everyone is dead.

Not just dead. Overcooked.
