Being 41% of the way to boiling water sounds pretty hot to me, too.

But really it is much better for human temperatures.
It’s just intuitive, 0F is 100% cold, and 100F is 100% hot.
When the dry bulb gets above 100F, wind only cools you down by sweat evaporation, and when the wet bulb gets above 100F, even that can’t cool you down, and you will die if you don’t get to a cooler or drier environment.

Lol, 0F is not 100% cold. That is barely cold unless you live in very warm place

People do live outside of North America. I know that must be news to you, but it is the truth.

How is 0F 100% cold though, most places will never get that cold, so it surely makes more sense to have 0F at freezing point of water and 100F at 38C?

Not to mention negative numbers.

0F is 100% cold, and 100F is 100% hot.
So 50% is perfect temperature, no?

When I was out in SD recently the temperature was reaching 100F or above frequently and it sucked but it wasn’t that bad. Where I live in Cali and it gets that hot by the beach with humidity well into the 70% range sometimes I literally felt like I was about to die just sitting inside with a fan blowing right at me. Humidity is such a huge factor.

Is 50°F 50% cold or 50% hot?

I love it when it’s -10% hot in winter nights or 110% hot around the equator. Makes perfect sense.

Yes, it does, actually. Thank you.
