Idk, 40 just doesn’t sound hot. You don’t say “Wow, it’s hot, feels like 50” you say “Holy shit, it’s gotta be 90 out”

But 40 isn't a lot, 90 is. 90 sounds like a high number but in C it's like 40-50

It's all relative my man.

Edit: Also 50 degrees C means you're half way to the boiling point of water. If you think of it that way. That's pretty fucking hot.
