As a Minnesotan, 30°F is still shorts weather
Minnesotans at 30°F are a great example of direction mattering, and not just temperature; hit 30 on the way down and you’ll see them change out of shorts, but hit 30 on the way up and you’ll see them change into shorts
A lot of it depends on the wind chill factor. On a calm sunny day— -10F (that’s -23C for those in Houston, TX)—can be very pleasant. But with a damp 25 mph (3.727912328e-8 for those in Tokyo) wind and 60F (that’s 127 Delisle for those in the EU) temperature, it can cut right through you. We send 5 year olds out to play at -10F as long as the wind chill isn’t more than -15.

Come to iowa! It’s 30f one day 30c the next day! And you wear shorts and a hoodie for both!
When it’s 30F and sunny I’m on my snowboard in a t shirt. Course, I’m in Chicago, 30C feels like a nice cool day to do shit outside in summer.
40 below the lowest possible temperature? -313.15°C
Yeah -40 K overflows and becomes 18,446,744,073,709,551,535 K
-72 Rankine
One time my brother and i were testing eachother on our conversion (yes we are both very cool) and he gave me -40F just on a whim and i was trying to do it quick ad not accurate but it was just so plainly -40C that i couldnt believe it and we even looked up graphs and shit to see wtf. That was how i learned that one
30 degrees Fahrenheit? Hell yeah. It’s practically tropical. If it’s sunny as well, I’ll be rolling my windows down.
(Not me in pic, but I’ve been him)
Right, it’s barely freezing. And you work up a good sweat shoveling snow
Today is 42.2 C for me today. Then you factor humidity on top of that and it becomes like the gates of hell. Then I remember that I live in dallas and I basically already am in hell.
The European mind can not comprehend…
I was going to make snark remarks on the fact that a lot of people live in hostile environments and it’s not super sustainable because we need climate control year round in every building and cars, but I live in Canada and it would be pretty hypocritical given the fact that I need climate control most of the year too. In fact, sometimes in winter when I watch the endless ballet of machinery burning oil to plow and move the snow, I wonder why we go through such trouble to live here.
I guess we get used to a lot of things. However 42C is too much for my taste. I go vacationing in the Caribbean where it’s usually around 30C, and it’s pretty much my limit.
What’s funny is that I used to live in Phoenix for a year. I would happily take the higher dry heat over the almost as high wet heat. When I lived there it was like walking into an oven and you could feel your sweat pours opening. But the sweating evaporated quickly and provided cooling as long as you stayed hydrated. Shade works and you can see how the natives protected themselves from the sun and had passive cooling that worked. In the wet heat it is more like Satan is pissing on you and you have no hope. Your body is dumping sweat and it does nothing because the humidity is too high to evaporate. Shade? Worthless beyond the immediate sun protection. A few degrees at most. Without AC you will only cool with high winds or a fan.
Fun fact I never knew until living there: when it hits 112 (and it does) the airport has to partially shut down and divert all non-high-temp aircraft. The tarmac is so hot it will pop normal tires at a high rate. So unless you have the expensive higher temp rated tires for planes based out of high temp areas, then you can’t land there when it is too hot.
We do now, where we live in France we just had 44°. So my condolences and please stay stay safe out there.
Oh shit. Honestly I feel more for you guys than me. We have infrastructure built for it. Everything has AC. I even just put a window unit in my bedroom to take some load off the older main unit that has been struggling to keep up. But over there you were never built for that kind of heat. I wish you all the best with climate change.
Getting AC where we live is very difficult to install (we have 40 to 50cm thick walls) and expensive to run.
That sucks. Yeah - we have those temps in Texas for months at a time, but at least we have air conditioning most places.
It’s also one of the reasons development is so hostile for pedestrians and cyclists here. We design everything around taking air conditioning with us wherever we go, which leads to car-first development.
European here, just had two weeks of temperatures never going below 30c even at night. I had 34c at 3am the other day… We basically are all in hell at this point.
I lived in Dallas for 3 years. It is hell. I’ll be praying for your escape.

Friday looks pretty chill. Something to look forward to!
I flew to San Antonio a few yewrs ago. I remember it being about 10 degrees cooler than Tulsa.
I didn’t go outside in Dallas, though.
30 C isn’t that hot… hell, half of the country is regularly above that for over half the year.
And 30 F isn’t really that cold. Throw a hoodie on or maybe a light jacket.
I wish it were 30 F right now. I’m ready for summer to be over.
I’m slowly trying to convert myself to metric. Temperature is a hard one for me because it’s so ingrained in my psyche.
Length is easier. 440mm is much easier than 17 21/64 in. Plus all the CAD software I use is easy to switch to metric. Weight isn’t hard either since most of the maker things I use (filament/resin) are in metric. My doctor’s office even weighs me in kg thinking they can sneak it by me. I know what 92.4kg is you cheeky bastards.
I am the same way. For me I just memorized 2 C to F conversions and work it as a relativity from there. 22C is about 72F, the perfect inside temp to me. Then because I live in a hot place my other anchor is 40C being 104F. To me that is the threshold going from “fuck this is hot” to “shitty hot, avoid outside”.
I would recommend just memorizing some key anchor points that are normal for your climate and learning from those.
That’s a very good idea. I may start doing that. I should convert my home thermostat but I’m pretty sure my wife would balk at it being set to “so cold” (23°C or so)
For april fools one year I released a drawing package in metric. Merriment was had.
Mostly by me.
It’s the first kind of 30° here today
And it’s not wrong when it says that’s MUCH COOLER than yesterday
Yo its like 97 degrees. Is that like the temperature of the sun in Europe?
Well it’s 37 right now where I’m at 😵💫
LOL! I’m a Celsius person.
It’s pleasant here at the moment. 35/95 and 20% humidity. Small thunderstorm passing through.
Well it’ll be 105F here today, so…
I’m all for metric, but I think farenheit is better for temperature.
It just ranges better in my opinion. 70 degrees farenheit vs. 21.11 degrees Celsius
30c is fucking cold tho… That’s still hoodie weather. The fuck do you mean you think that’s hot?!
We don’t even start to get to “God damn it’s hot out” till around 41-42c with 85-90% humidity
Nah 30c is “i wish it was socially acceptable to just walk around naked because I am fucking dying in a t shirt and shorts” weather.
40 is just that but worse
I hope I never have to experience high humidity 40 I might just keel over and die
30f is viable for shorts but only with a thick-ish jacket on upper body
I think you have it confused with -30C which is when put on a hoodie because the t-shirt isn’t enough anymore.
It’s 24c right now and I wish it was colder
