As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.

minus-squareHTTP_404_NotFound@lemmyonline.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoYup. Where I live we have seen down to -20F (during that time texas almost lost their power grid) and up to 115F. Its currently 110F. Aka, hot. Or, -28c to 46C. Currently 43C. And 40% humidity. Feels horrible.

That’s when we feel 0% hot.
