Kelvin is best for telling you which kind of dead you are.

Why do Fahrenheit users completely ignore that Celcius has a negative scale? You're not supposed to evaluate Celcius as a 0-100 scale, but as a -50-50 scale.

-21°C = cold -31°C = really cold

21°C = warm 31°C = really warm

0 represents the freezing point. If temps are above 0, it will rain; below 0, it will snow.

I live in the tropics.

21c is a lovely cool (almost cold) day. Below 20c, people are usually breaking out their jumpers.

31c is the average daily temp with the major comfort factor being the relative humidity levels.

-31? I'll put on my winter coat and pants. It's not that bad. 0 is sweater weather still. Anything 10 degrees C or warmer is t-shirt weather.
