But hot and cold is relative. It’s largely up to experience to have a feel for temperature. Eg, what temperature do you need a jacket in? In Celsius, around zero is jacket weather. What’s room temperature? It’s a pretty arbitrary 20ish C vs 70ish F either way.
I could just as easily say Celsius has nifty ten degree bands for weather. 0 to 10 is chilly fall weather. 10 to 20 is nice late spring weather. 20 to 30 is summer weather. 30 to 40 are the hottest summer days. 0 to -10 is mild winter. -10 to -20 are the cold winter days. -20 to -30 are the coldest days in a place like Toronto.
For outside weather, I’ve never seen anyone use tenths. Thermostats (for inside) in Celsius usually use half degree granularity.
I generally agree with you, but I guess how you experience these depends on where you live and what you’re used to. For me, it would be something like:
30 to 40C: really hot summer noons
20 to 30C: nicest range overall. Summer nights and autumn/spring days.
15 to 20C: comfortable if you move around, working, doing sports etc
10 to 15C: starting to get cold. Need jacket
0 to 10C: winter cold
-10 to 0C: my balls are freezing
-20 to -10C: once or twice in a lifetime. Not going out at all until it gets warmer.
Thermostats (for inside) in Celsius usually use half degree granularity.
I find it is hit or miss if a thermostat gives 0.5C or 1C for granularity. Even when the do have half degree increments I always just use whole degrees.

Man, sometimes I’m relieved when it’s only -20°C. At least my eyelashes don’t turn to icicles.

Man, -15 is kinda nice weather for going outside and eat ice scream.
