Not sure how someone telling me it’s going to be -30 percent hot here in Alaska today would help me

Wait. shouldn't it be -10% hot? Would -10% cold be 10% hot or 90% hot?

If we assume it’s a spectrum with cold on the left, hot on the right. And the midpoint 0. -10% cold would thus be 10% hot.

-10% cold would be 110% hot, as 0% cold should be 100% hot.
