What? No one’s using C to that precision outside the lab. It just depends on what you grew up with man. I know below 0 I need a winter jacket, ~10C chilly, ~20C is shorts weather, ~30C is hot, >40C is death. Perfectly practical everyday estimations.
For me the only advantage of F is you can say it’s 69F out and bake things at 420F.
That is a slight exaggeration, but I know here in Australia if you went out in 42C with no sun protection then yeah, you’re not having a good time and it is a risk to life.
In July 2023 in Phoenix on the 20th and 25th it was 119° F or 48.3° C. Not as much an exaggeration as I would like it to be.
It’s regularly 79° F to 107° F or 26° C to 41° C in Phoenix in summer. Lately it’s been hotter (past 5 years)
At those temperatures, dry or wet, it’s still gonna be dangerous.
Not trying to argue here, but the fact those were both last year should be enough of an indication to our political “leaders” that climate change is a major threat.

I agree with most of that, but I have been in Phoenix, AZ in ~42°C. Sure it wasn’t pleasant, but I’m not dead.
Edit: For extended periods, absolutely. For AC building hopping, survivable.
