Hehe, this is the thread where we find out who is u.s, who is anywhere else, and who is completely stupid("30 is not even freezing, guys" or "are you telling me you can boil water on the sidewalk!?"
Anything above 0 Celsius is way to hot for my taste. And here I thought Winter was coming.... Damnit, where are the the White Walkers when you need them!?

[evil voice] Ha ha! you have fallen into the trap. Some of us used to be from over there (points vaguely into the distance), and now we are from over here(points at feet), so we aren't stupid- just used to two different climates[/evil voice] ummm maybe some of us are still stupid
Seriously I've moved from New Zealand to the UK - about as far as you can move. I've now discovered the joys of ice inside the windscreen in the morning, and wearing crampos to safely visit the neighbors at midnight on New Years Eve. But last time I spent Christmas in kiwiland I was in the family home in Northland, and it was too bloody humid, and too bloody hot. My pommy husband nearly died!
Guys pleeeze talk in real numbers i.e. Celsius. I find Fahrenheit too confusing, even though that's what we used when I was a kid. Does 25 below,/> mean 25 degrees below freezing, or -25. Enquiring minds would love to know.
I live in the US (Florida...not by the beach) and it's 32-ish average with 100% humidity, high UV index, and heavy storms almost every afternoon...or a normal summer day (though, by mid summer, it'll be around 36 degrees with the rest). I, for one, do not mind the English weather (I've visited Ireland in May...that's about it, but I loved the weather).
It snowed slightly north of Edmonton last week. It's currently a blistering 19C/66F. I'm looking forward to the summer storms. Lots of rain/hail/lightning/wind/possible tornados at 3am.

@kiwidoc Well, in America, 25-32 is to much math, and we would all be standing around trying to figure out what the temperature was every time it got cold. Whenever someone says 25 below it means below 0, I've never heard Of that meaning below freezing.
It seems that to really throw a spanner in the works we might be in for an El Nino year to make the weather even sillier. Not too much effect in Europe, but significantly messing with the weather around the Pacific. And possibly causing drought, crop failures and general badness.

So i shows both Temperatures in °C and °F! °K is for Science- and Technerds.
Kelvin's interesting, if only because you don't need to put minuses into the scale. It's not even hard to convert to Centigrade - just subtract 273 and you're pretty much there.

Actually, in America, C is for science nerds. K is only for science only. period.

In Germany is Science Profs been in °C and Nerds in °F. °K is eventual only period too. (Not in chemnistry-likely Heisenberg... <- "Breaking Bad" everyone knows this?)
In Canada we use C most of the time. For cooking we use C or F. For reasons.
Haha, here, everything except soda is measured in gallons/ounces/cups, because f*ck you, everybody else. Soda comes in litres, for reasons beyond mortal comprehension.

Maybe its because pop manufacturers have finally caught on that using the same wording that describes two distinctly different amounts of liquid (there is a difference between a british gallon and american gallon) is kind of ridiculous.
Then again the sizes for Teaspoons, Tablespoons, Fluid ounces, Cups, Pints, and Quarts all can vary even among metric countries. So you can't win

@meagloth: I swear, i can to cook with my car hood fried eggs, this tastes!
