Itβs taught but not really for weather. So while I know the boiling and freezing points of various substances in Celsius, I donβt have instant recognition when I hear a Celsius temperature, I have to convert it in my head.

10Β° C is warm lmao, where I live winter can get as cold as -34Β°C
Where I am in Aus we'd be lucky to see 0C once or twice a year at most in the middle of the night in the middle of winter for maybe an hour. I put on long pants or a sweater under 20C.

Just admit it, Celsius is garbage, use Kelvin cowards. Also this: Temperature scales
Kelvin use the same scale as Celsius, the only difference is the zero point. The imperial system and Farenheit sucks and result very expensive and cause even deaths because of wrong conversions: Crushed 2 Mars probes >$350M, flight crash with more than 130 victims because of an error calculating the amount of fuel, wrong amount of medicine respect bodyweight, etc..

I can understand canadians wearing shorts on a 10Β° day, Aussies sometimes do the same. But what Australian wears a jacket on a 30Β°C day???

Hey cool, we're like the Fire Nation
10C? I see people wear shorts below zero. Some people just don't get cold.
