The C is the grade those kids on got in "Temperature Understanding Class" because they're almost failing.

I can understand canadians wearing shorts on a 10° day, Aussies sometimes do the same. But what Australian wears a jacket on a 30°C day???

Not just us not understanding Celcius. Where I come from, we wear shorts down to 0°C or lower.

American kids wear hoodies in 30C+ for some bizarre reason.

It actually depends on humidity and movement of wind as well as tempreture

Multiply by 2 and add 30

Not gonna lie, this is my experience.

At least I try. I have the gist of it, and agree it's a more sane scale. I know 40 is around 100f, for example.

Americans do understand Celsius, although it is unfortunately not as commonly used for weather/room temperature as Fahrenheit
