The C is the grade those kids on got in "Temperature Understanding Class" because they're almost failing.

An American: lmao. Seriously? Y’all weak. No shirt & Mohawk/Mullet all day! Lol just messing around

Not gonna lie, this is my experience.

At least I try. I have the gist of it, and agree it's a more sane scale. I know 40 is around 100f, for example.

Not just us not understanding Celcius. Where I come from, we wear shorts down to 0Β°C or lower.

It actually depends on humidity and movement of wind as well as tempreture

The easy but not quite right conversion from C to F is to double it, then add 30.

F to C is subtract 30 and divide by 2.

Americans do understand Celsius, although it is unfortunately not as commonly used for weather/room temperature as Fahrenheit

As a Canadian who spent a few years of my youth in Australia: I can definitely confirm.

I spent most of my ozzy summers in a black hoodie for some god forsaken reason, and I also wear shorts in winter occasionally....
