If those Americans could read Celsius they'd be very upset.

I'm american and I know 10 C isn't even that cold because it's above freezing

I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…

Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…

F = C*(9/5)+32

If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8

To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose

I'm American and I don't know what 30 C is, but at 70 F, we're wearing jackets.

At 70 F I'm asking what that is in Celsius. We aren't so different.

Ah, the Leonardo DiCaprio dating temperature.

Maybe in southern parts of the US, but in the northeast it's t-shirt weather for sure
