To be honest, a 10°C range is way too much variation for me to consider it as the same 'category' (at least in the 0°C ~ 40°C range). I say that as a Brazilian.

Yeah, most people in Brazil do not think 20 is pleasant at all

For sure! At one point in winter I had to wear a second pair of pants to get through the day, and it was only in the 10°C range...

0-5 and 5-10 is more like it

Yes, that was my first thought!

See that's my issue with degrees C. It's not as fine a measurement as degrees F. A difference of 5F is not terribly much, but it is noticeable. A difference of 5C is substantial (to me) and would make me very uncomfortable. So with F, I can know with more precision how uncomfortable I should expect to be :)

I mean, you can use decimals, but I understand your point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

OK, yeah, that's fair...
