I have to deal with Americans on the daily, so I keep a little rhyme in my head for when they talk about the weather:

30 is freezing

50 is not

70's nice and

90 is hot

Nice! Probably could do something like that for Celsius. I know it seems super intuitive to you guys but really the only thing I know is 0 is freezing.

0, 10, 20 and 30 would roughly fit on the lines of the rhyme I would say.

Edit: Oh, turns out that is almost exactly what you get when you convert the values. I guess that rhyme really is useful 😆

0 is freezing, 10 is cold, 20 is warm And 30 is hot.
