you brits and your celsius scale, the us fahrenheit system is better. it's easier to tell how hot or cold the temperature is. i wonder why we are the only country using it though?

if you're refering to my comment, i'm just saying that the fahrenheit system makes more sense. temps closer to 100 mean it is hot. temps under 60 means it is cold. temps under 32 mean it is freezing, 32 degrees fahrenheit being the freezing point. 1 celcius degree is equal to 2 or so fahrenheit degrees, so the temperature in degrees celcius is not very precise unless you measure in decimals, which is a hassle

no, using the proper system it means you're about to boil water

Sure. There is a huge difference between -5º and -4,5º. It's that 0.5º that makes you feel comfortable.

Who said 30C is hot? The temperature here is stupid enough to go over 40C in daytime.

i'm just wondering, but how hot does it have to be to be able to fry eggs on the road? probably toxic eggs that taste like oil will be the result.

Your kidding right? In celcius 0 is freezing point and its a little cold. 20-25 is nice over 30 is hot and up to -20 is pretty cold. -40 with windchill is when its real cold

If someone is interested in my opinion, ricing is one of the things I've hated the most on earth.

The temperature today in Paris is 39.5 degrees.

I agree as well, but if he enjoys it, that's fine by me.

And here it can be up to 40º, altough in the morning it's a pleasant 20º.
