How do you classify cold and warm? (snowfall, ice, storm)

[Neptunepenguins]

Summer: (With dry to so-so conditions and when I am used to the weather in a very hot summer climate. If humid, then these would be the heat index categories as well I guess for the high ones.)

Extremely hot: 122F/50C+
Very hot: 110F/43C to 122F/50c
Hot: 99F/38C to 110F/43C
Very Warm: 90F/32C to 99F/38C
Warm: 81F/27C to 90F/32C
Cooler: 72F/22C to 81F/27C
Cool: 59F/15C to 72F/22C
Chilly: 41F/5C to 59F/15C
Cold: 41F/5C and below

Winter: (When I am used to the weather in a very cold winter climate)

Hot: 75F/24C+
Very Warm: 59F/15C to 75F/24C
Quite Warm: 41F/5C to 59F/15C
Warm/Balmy: 23F/-5C to 41F/5C
Warmer: 14F/-10C to 23F/-5C
Cool: 0F/-18C to 14F/-10C
Quite cool: -13F/-25C to 0F/-18C
Cold: -22F/-30C to -13F/-25C
Very Cold: -40 to -22F/-30C
Extremely Cold: -40 and colder

Spring and Fall: (Or when I am used to cool, mild, and warm conditions depending on when the milder season is where I live.)


Hot: 90F/32C+
Very warm: 75F/24C to 90F/32C
Pleasantly Warm: 64F/18C to 75F/24C
Mild: 50F/10C to 64F/18C
Pleasantly Cool: 36F/2C to 50F/10C
Chilly: 23F/-5C to 36F/2C
Quite Chilly: 10F/-12C to 23F/-5C
Cold: 10F/-12C or colder

Pretty much agree with this; maybe spread the intervals out a bit more though (like -40/-25/-5/+10/+25 F instead of -40/-22/-13/0/14 F).

[Hemlock140]

Cold - below 40F/4C
Cool - 40-50F/4-10C
Comfortable - 50-70F/10-21C
Warm - 70-80F/21-26.6C
Hot - Above 80F/26.6C

[arcleo]

Something like this:

Very hot: above 40C (heat index)
Hot: 32~40C (heat index)
Warm: 24~32C
Mild: 15~24C
Cool: 5~15C
Cold: -10~5C
Very cold: below -10C

[Eman Resu VIII]

Warm: 55°C+
Cold: 0°C and below

[svelten]

^sounds more like cooking/cooling instructions rather than human habitation!

Uninhabitable: >45C
Scorching hot: 40C-45C
Very hot: 35C-40C
Hot: 30C-34C
Warm: 25-29C
Balmy: 20-24C
Mild: 13-19C
Cool: 7-12C
Cold: 0-6C
Very cold: -10-0C
Frigid: -20-10C
Severely cold: -30C-20C
Inhumane: <-30C

How I would classify warm and cold is purely subjective and depends on the time of year. I would consider 70 F cold during summer yet the same temperature during mid winter I would consider record heat, so it’s all relative and depends on what season it is.

[John345]

This would be my classification:

Incredibly hot: 97+
Very, very hot: 90-96
Very hot: 83-89
Hot: 76-82
Very warm: 70-75
Warm: 63-69
Mild: 53-62
Cool: 46-52
Very cool: 40-45
Cold: 32-39
Very cold: 21-31
Very, very cold: 10-20
Incredibly cold: Below 10

Anyway, just a bit of background; I'm from a coastal town in North Wales and so I am used to a very mild climate with average July highs of 67f and average January lows of 38f. Having said this, I did live in central Florida for three years where an average day in each of the five-month summers would reach a high of around 92f and have 80% humidity. I'd have to say I'm glad to now be back in Cymru (Wales)!

[The Grandeur]

It would change.

For summer:

If the weather is sunny, lower temps are hot. If the humidity is high, that's gonna be ultra worse.

For winter:

Again, is there sun or not and is there wind or not?



In non-windy weather:

I would say -26°C and below is extreme cold. It becomes hell burning like cold.

If there is wind, that number will be warmer temperature-wise of course.

In Summer:

If the weather is dry and there is no sun, even 40°C is not feeling hot ( for outdoor temperature).

But for indoor, in anyway, it would be worse than terrible.

Why?

The weather moves outside while at home, it's not moving anywhere so even that dry weather inside room will feel as if it is way too humid.

BOILING-45 - 50C
VERY HOT- 37.5 - 45C
HOT- 23.5 - 37.5C
WARM- 12 - 23.5C
AVERAGE- 5.5-12C
COOL- -10-5.5C
COLD- -20 - -10C
VERY COLD- -20 - -40C
FREEZING Below 40F/C

Yes, I realize I have a horrible heat tolerance and mind boggling cold tolerance.
I'm from the mountains where temperatures can drop down to -25C sometimes.
Just barely reaches 1C in the summers too at mid-noon and drops to -5C in night summer.
