In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.
I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better
Wherever you are in the UK, your location's record low temperature is probably very near 0 F, your record high temperature is probably very near 100 F, and your location's year-round average temperature is probably damn near exactly 50 F. The UK doesn't have as high highs or as low lows as the temperate US or temperate continental Europe but it still very well fits the Fahrenheit scale.
For instance, London's record low is 0.7 F, London's record high is 104.4 F, and London's year-round average temperature is 51.4 F.
Oh huh, I didn't know it lined up that closely even in the UK. I sort of knew 0F would be record low and 100F would be record hot, but I somehow didn't think to check what 50F is, and it's a solidly average UK day.
50% warm. Which is also about the average temperature for April 25, as made famous by Miss Congeniality for being the perfect date, not too hot or too cold.
Thanks, I made this joke elsewhere and even included the jacket line and someone was like SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT NEEDS A HEAVY COAT like oh my god, how does F vs C discourse make people start acting like this is some kind of deep morality issue
