50°F is the point where you need clothes to survive. If you sat naked in a 50°F room you run the risk of your body not being able to generate enough heat and you’ll slowly die.
~75°F is room temperature. It’s in the middle on the warm side.
70°F is a cool room, 80°F is a warm room.
Whenever I think of Celsius I see it as 0° to 40° with 20° being room temperature. I hear 30°C and think halfway between 70 and 100 so I know it’s around 85°F and I know how 85°F feels.
But like 35°C. That’s 3/4 of the way from 20°C to 40°F. 100°F-70°F is 30°. 3/4 of 30 is 22.5. So 35° must be close to 70°+22.5° or ~93°F. I know how 93°F feels.
I can see how celcius is easier if you learned it as a child. 35°C would just be 35°C. But trying to quickly wrap your head around it is difficult unless you just know it. I’m sure if I said 93°F you could tell me that that is pretty hot.
75F would already be a warm room for many. 70F or 21C is usually room temperature around here. In the past this was often 65F. In more southern places 75F is middle of the night temperature and too cold.
I can see how the F scale makes some sense, but then you see some news report from Texas reaching 100F and you wonder if people can read their own temperature scale as that is clearly not fit for human habitation.
There are the “I like to keep my house at 66°F because I like to wear a hoodie or use a blanket”. They are going to say that 75°F is warm or even hot for a room.
If an average person sat naked in a 75°F room they would be happy.
68°F or 20°C is cold for me. Even 70°F or 21°C. I keep my house around 72° to 74°F and bump it up or down a degree. Coming in from mowing the yard, bump it down, sitting all day watching movies, keep it the same, cold winter day, bump it up.
Older people keep their houses at 78°+
100°F doesn’t mean “not fit for human habitation”
Anything above body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) you are slowly cooking yourself. That’s why 100°F is important.
