The exact temperature of 32 is not usually that important when it comes to weather because the amount of heat in the ground or water and the difference in temperature of the atmosphere impact whether or not snow or ice forms. It’s not like everything freezes over when the temperature dips below 32. You need the lows for the day to go into the 20s usually.
As someone who lives in an area where it frequently hits 95 to 105, there absolutely is a difference, especially when it’s usually very high humidity here either way. 105 is too miserable to be outdoors unless necessary. 95 you could go to a park or the beach
You’re fundamentally missing the point of my comment.
Also I’ve lived in Cyprus in 45°c heat, so yes I do understand the difference .
To make my point again. The difference between 99f and 101f is purely one of temperature. Unlike 1c and -1c where alongside the temperature change, it’s also now cold enough to freeze water, so you can have ice on roads and paths, it can snow and the air will be much dryer. So there is Ana actual threshold at 0c, whereas there isn’t one at 100f
Like someone else said, it’s just about what you’re used to. For me, 36 is a low number 'cause I’m from the US. I think we can all just agree to get along, yes?
This is the hill I am going to plant my flag on and die on. (a)
(a) – unless it’s too cold, then I am going to wait for summer to plant my flag. I mean – I am committed to this and all but I am not stupid enough to do it in winter. Plus we are about to get hit with Storm Eowyn over here and I’m buggered if I am staying outside during that – Winds of 100 miles an hour?? My flag would blow away!!! I’m staying inside until it’s done with then maybe I will plant my flag and die on this hill.
But yes – I will plant my flag and die on this hill once we have nice weather :)
Ice cold – 0 degrees.
Who wants Ice at 32 degrees? That’s a ridiculous temperature to say “It’s freezing out there – it’s 32 degrees!!”
If I want someone telling me it’s cold, I want it to be sub-zero. Not sub-32.
You know I’m right.
I’d probably like to have ice cream at 32 degrees
Normal body temperature is 36 degrees. Ice-cream at that temperature would be a pool of liquid :)
No, when it’s 36 C outside, the commenter above would like to eat ice cream
That’s correct, thanks
But I’m not ice.
0-100 degrees F is “very cold” to “very hot” for a human. Your familiarity with base ten can take over from there.

Meh. Saying 36 = hot is just as dumb, imo
Yeah but there’s no threshold temperature for hot. It being 105f isn’t much different to being 95f.
But being sub zero is significant because water freezes which fundamentally changes your outdoors experience.

Again, you’re completely missing the point of my comment.
Ooh, tell me you’ve never lived somewhere where both of those temperatures happen without saying exactly that
Those are very different heats

Weird thing is 36 is hot, even though (as I said) it’s normal body temperature.
Normal temperature – comfortable outside – is usually somewhere between 15 and 22 (adjust for personal taste, obviously).

Nope.
