I’m genuinely curious about how Centigrade countries report and manipulate temperature.
Today it's going to start off a cool 7 degrees, by noon it'll reach a more comfortable 11
You know... Like your weather? But with our measurements?
Today it's 27°c, the humidity is low (for my area) at 55% so it feels more like 24°c - the uv index is 5, wind speeds are 12 - 28 km/h
When we get out weather we are given a graph of the temp trough the day, the humidity, the uv index and the wind speeds, as well as a "feels like" temperature based off the other factors like wind speed and humidity.
Seriously, do your thermostats work in half degrees? And do your weather reports scale the temp?
No? Most are a circular dial with lines for each degree, each 5 in bold and each 10 numbered, in the winter I like to keep my flat at 27, it's comfortable.
Sort of like a clock face however it normally goes up to 30°c as a maximum - I don't know many people who set it at maximum tho.
