It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.

It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.

You don't need to do a conversion, you can just learn them intuitively. 0 is dangerously cold, 10 is cold, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot, 40 is dangerously hot.

That's the joke...?

I wouldn't say that 0C is dangerous cold. For me, that's more like -20C, and -30C is really quite unpleasant.

it depends on the cloth you have

I live in a very warm country

I literally don't have clothes that I could use if the temperature got negative

A lot of it is individual adaptation. People in colder climates may wear clothing very similar to people in warmer climates, but are just used to the colder temperatures. Someone from a colder country would probably end up getting heat stroke in your country while wearing the same clothing as you.
