You only feel this way because you’re accustomed to Fahrenheit. I grew up with Celsius, and to me that feels like the perfect temperature scale. Fahrenheit feels weird and arbitrary to me.
I grew up with Fahrenheit, but switched my weather app to use Celsius for a while, and I’ve internalized it pretty well. It works fine. The “human experience” angle doesn’t work anyway because that experience is very locale-dependent.
It kind of is, but a good way to think of it is the percentage of hot it is. 70F is like 20C, which is a nice temperature. 0F is about -17C, which is very not hot, one might even say zero percent hot. 110F is about 43C, which is very hot, one might even say 110% hot
