  Listen, I need to introduce you to any hot climate’s weather terms (done in american and rest-of-the-fucking-world-but-liberia units for funsies):

  • >90/32 = hot
  • >28/82 = stifling (if humid) / little warm
  • >78/25 = warm
  • >75/24 = nice out
  • >22/72 = okay
  • >70/21 = cool
  • >68/20 = chilly
  • >60/16 = cold
  • <16/60 = freezing

  You can be very cold and freezing. You can’t be very cold and not freezing. ;)

    In freedom units, as viewed from New Mexico, where humidity is typically under 50% and often below 10% in the summer:

    100 = hot or “sweltering” just because I like the word. 90 - 100 = hot 80 - 90 = warm 70 - 80 = comfortable 60 - 70 = cool 50 - 60 = chilly 35 - 50 = cold < 35 = freezing

      I reserve sweltering for when you can see the heat waves in the air. It is a great word. New mexico is a weird one though, being high desert, right? Ya’ll actually get a wildly cold winter, don’t you?

    I have some hot takes regarding this scale.

    68/20 isn’t chilly - it’s room temperature during Winter. (Also, 75/24 is room temperature in Summer and whatever-temp-it-is-outside is room temperature during Spring and Autumn.)

    How can 78/25 be warm, but 28/82 (dry) is “little warm”?

    It ain’t the heat, it’s the humidity.
