The feeling of cold weather is entirely subjective. A Brazilian from Bahia will wear a winter coat and feel cold at 20C, but somebody from northern Canada would be going out for a swim in their shorts.
Which is why any attempt at using “oh it means cold percentage” or “oh below zero it just feels the same” is extremely dumb and a easily refutable attempt at saving a bad scale.
Yup. We were at an event and it was a hot weekend, mid 30’s C, sunny, so we were in shorts and staying in the shade. My sister, who had just come back from a tour in Afghanistan, was wearing a sweater and shivering.
I grew up in the Northeastern US. I lived in the Southeastern US for a few years. My first year there it was 65F in March and everyone was still in their winter coats with scarves and hats commenting that they couldn’t wait for spring and I was in a t shirt with sweat literally rolling down my arms and face and I remember saying “wait, this isn’t spring?”

Point was, doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, once it gets to -40 it’s “fucking cold” to literally everyone

Sweat rolling down your arms at 65 degrees?
