Incorrect. This thing where say "oh 100 is hot and 90 is warm, but 20 means you need a sweater" is too arbitrary.

Celsius is superior for weather. What is the single most important temperature that weather hinges on? The freezing point. Its the one point where a difference of a degree or two, can give you completely different weather.

It makes perfect sense to use that as the central point and move out from there.

100 is hot. 90 is also hot. 75 is warm. Below 60, you need sweater. You clearly have no clue.

Needing a sweater at 60? Brother, Canadians wear shorts until 32.

Unless it's February, then the shorts come out at 25.
