Before y'all bring up Kelvin: Yes. It is the best but also, u really think Homo "Can't Perceive the Massive Difference Between Million and Billion And It's Ruining Society" Sapiens are really going to be able to intuitively grasp a Kelvin scale in daily life any more than Celsius just because some engine is acting a lil ideal?
alternative title: *Sabrina doesn’t exactly understand the big number in her weather app so she builds a weather station that reports the exact same thing*
hi sabrina, the idea of calibrating yourself using a local weather station is moot since the margin of error on that $3 thermometer and the margin of error on that $12 sensor that you got off the internet is probably going to make the reading so inaccurate that using your phone would've just been better
if you want to learn fahrenheit for some reason (for most people) - below 50 is coldish - 60 is nice - 70/80 is kinda hot 90+ is hot at least according to my parents lmao, we live in new england
I'm Australian. We converted most units to metric decades ago. Most of it made things easier and people quickly got a sense for what the units meant for everyday use. But the change from Fahrenheit to Celsius was the most difficult. I found myself constantly converting back to F to get a 'feel' for the forecast weather. That was, until I heard a simple little ditty that made sense of it all. It went: - The cold singles - the cool teens - the temperate twenties - the torrid thirties - the fierce forties. After that I could think easily in C. It's a more poetic version of 'look at the big number".
It’s been a bit more than a few decades. Over 50 years ago. I was so young at the time I never knew anything other than metric. My only exposure to Fahrenheit was the oven and my mothers 1960’s edition of the Womens Weekly cooking book. Fahrenheit for me is just a US based problem now since the rest of the world uses metric.
Interesting. Didn't know Australia used metric. For me as someone born with metric, its impossible for me to understand why is hard to get C. 0 is where the water freezes, 100 is where it boils. Combine that with other general knowledge such as human body has around 36*C, and you can easily understand which temperature is comfortable and which not.
@@0311mitzaAustralia is one of the most metric countries on earth, we fully committed in the 1970s, before I was born. Even most people would give their height in centimetres before feet/inches. And when Americans give the temperature I have to convert to Celsius because I don't have a feel for Fahrenheit
Personal opinion: doesn't matter the scale, it ends up being subjective. A person who grew up in tropical weather will shiver at 25 C. A person who grew up in dry heat / cold will complain at the magnification due to humidity (looking at your Toronto and Vietnam). I grew up with Celsius, learned to convert to Fahrenheit due to gaming with Americans and their love of freedom units. Visited relatives in Vietnam who had a completely different scale of hot and cold. Live in Alberta, where we can get snow 12 months of the year (yes, that includes the summer months of May to August) and where weather changes in a literal blink of your eyes. Temperature dropping to 10 C is freezing during summer, but blissfully warm coming out of a freeze of -15 C and below. Temperature systems give us a common vocabulary to complain about the weather. What makes sense is what you grow up with.
Exactly! Of course your body acclimatises after a couple of weeks in a new climate, but your idea of what number is cold and hot is is entirely based off of your own perceptions growing up. I spent almost two months in the UK in the winter, my body acclimatised after two or three weeks, and after I set the thermostat to 21°C and I felt that as a really hot temperature it baffled me, because I come from tropical Brazil, 21°C would be a "cold" night in my city. From that point forward I consider temperature to be just a number, and I follow my instincts... My hands are currently cold in 26°C weather, but I know sometimes I can endure 14°C in shorts, T-Shirt and flip-flops... And sometimes I don't, so I don't even bother trying too much, I just try dressing based of my previous experiences and if it doesn't work out I'll dress differently the next day.
You're absolutely right!!! I live in Thailand and I don't check the weather because It's always hot like hell and I don't care if it's gonna rain even if I bring an umbrella I'm still wet lol.
Subplot: How Sabrina and many others were failed by a system that never reached out to lift them up, but simply thought demonstrating a way of being without any tips on how to get there was enough
Idk if other countries do it, but over here we get two measurements from the weather stations. The actual temperature and it feels like temperature. Helps a bunch

It makes sense that Fahrenheit gives you a 0 to 100 scale of how hot it is outside, but if you didn't grow up with the scale, you still don't know what the numbers really mean. This shows that the best "every day" temperature scale is always the one you're familiar with.
Yeah for day to day use, neither really is better than the other in my opinion, if you're doing science, then celsius or kelvin is probably ideal, but for day to day use, whatever you grew up with is best
Sabrina's comment about 0 being a really cold day and 100 being a really hot day made Fahrenheit make a lot of sense, for a very brief moment. Then I remembered that room temperature is around 70 °F (when intuitively it should be 50) and it felt weird again.
@@hoodiesticks general room temperature varies depending on where you are in the US. For the south it may be 80 (which is fairly hot) and in more northern areas it could be 55-60, which is warm-ish?
I was scammed by expecting a celcius vs farenhieght video but ended up caught up in sabrina's existential crisis and lack of outdoor experience. Would do it again 10/10
Honestly humidity is the one deciding factor on whether you will be able to stand the weather or not. I could happily sit in 30o weather if the humidity was low but so help me god in 20o when my sweat starts sticking to me Also love how your method in this video was literally just touch grass
This is so so true. I used to live in Arizona and the 100 degree weather didn’t bother me but when I moved to NY and NJ the humidity was suffocating and way more unbearable 😭
Yep! I was at a festival the other day. It was only 21°C but I felt nauseous and passed out. I also spent the day surrounded on all sides by people who were also spending the whole day dancing in a walled off tent. It was 30% humidity outside but inside? It really taught me to consider humidity.
Good weather apps also include "xx°C, feels like yy°C" and that second temperature takes humidity, cloudiness and wind into account in order to give a "feeling" temperature.
@@BreakCards Nah things are a bit more interesting. At colder temperatures, object volumes get smaller, right? So at exactly 0K, volumes of objects will be exactly 0
weather is also perceived differently depending on where you live. when you said 12°C is "you might need a sweater" I laughed out loud because for me 12°C is "this is the day I die frozen"
i'm crying at the expert's opinions literally being "you need to touch some grass". my weather trick has always been opening the window and standing in front of it and getting dressed off of how that feels.
Yeah, that's how I do it as well. If the temperature is ambiguous (because it'S not freezing or hot outside), I open the window, wait a minute or two and then dress based on what it felt like (with the additional benefit of seeing whether its cloudy or rainy and if it's humid or not).
me too. i just step out to my balcony and feel if i gotta wear short sleeves or long sleeves, and look at the sky to see if i need to bring an umbrella. then double check with my city’s government’s own weather app to make sure i’m well-equipped.
Ähm? I am able to see if it's windy, rainy, foggy, dry cloudless without opening the window and matching that with the temperature i see that's enough, i don't need to try with the open window our hop outside the door. Maybe it's a long term memory problem for people...
I as a european never had a problem in imagining how cold or hot a Celsius number is. I guess your problem is that you have two different systems in your mind while we europeans NEVER come in contact with everything else then Celsius in our normal lifes.
My favorite thing about every video is how this channel shows how people can act on shower thoughts to tackle questions everyone has had but no one to answer. Just because a question or feeling seems small, it doesn't mean that it isn't worth understanding. As a teacher, it's important to encourage curiosity and that's the epitome of this channel. I love it!
As a Canadian, the freezing point of water is so important for making sense of weather, that I cannot imagine using a system that is not centred on that temperature.
I understand your point but the only time it’s important is when you’re near the freezing temperature. So it doesn’t really matter as long as you know when the water will freeze. I live in Alaska so my experience is probably similar to yours. I use Fahrenheit. I just know if it’s below 32 it’s icy. Other than that it’s all about previous experience. I like Fahrenheit for the 0 being really cold and 100 being really hot aspect. I like Celsius for chemistry class when I’m dealing with both freezing and boiling liquids.
@@rivermahugh4575 I think it really depends on the country. In France, I feel like 0°C (32°F) is really a "symbolic" temperature meaning "REALLY cold", and it's close to the coldest i've ever seen (actually the coldest i've ever seen was -8°C, or 18°F, but may be because I've only lived in Metropolitan France for 3.5 years, I used to live in French Guiana where 20°C/68°F is already too cold to ever happen as well as 35°C/95°F being too hot to ever happen)
As a Russian I find it very interesting that all the Fahrenheit explanations I've seen do not include minus Fahrenheit when it's normal where I live for temperature to be lower than 0 Fahrenheit in winter and that's exactly why I find this Fahrenheit "plus side" completely useless. Like 0 Fahrenheit is *really* not the "coldest cold". It's temperature when I still go for walks...
We go into the negative side of our scale. Two Christmas's ago the temp was 0°f, but the real feel was -25 meaning you better stay bundled up or you'll freeze to death. That's -31°c for you. Getting to 0°f in Pennsylvania where I live isnt normal.
I was the little girl who loved legos and robots, but I never really had the ability to learn about engineering except through trial and error. I joined FIRST robotics in high school, but the combination of being the only girl and being a little bit behind everyone else meant I was usually excluded from actually building the robot and given jobs like making posters or the bumpers for the robot. I wasn’t learning anything and it really turned me off of the subject. I’ve found another topic which I’m very passionate about, but I couldn’t help but think about the little girl who just really wanted to engineer a robot but nobody was willing to teach her how during the champion portion of the video.
I come from a very similar background but instead did VEX robotics (FRC isn't very popular in the UK). I joined my robotics club long after everyone else did so I was behind and quite honestly I never caught up. I was mostly the pack donkey tbh though I didn't mind completely as at the end of the day I was there for the people as the club taught me how to socialise. Though I don't necessarily identify as such, there were other girls at the club which was helpful, though I don't think this affected me too much due to my experience of gender. I did have a champion who was my engineering teacher who was basically a man child but had the charisma and networking to keep us motivated and funded. There was also sixth formers that were very helpful. The entire club was all years (11-18yro) so there was a culture of (reluctant) teaching available and cross-year teams. It was an interesting place during it's prime yrs and you could probably write a sitcom about it. It did change after a few years as people left and of course the rona but it did inspire me to pick engineering as a subject for sixth form which has eventually led to me choosing to do Electronic and Electrical Engineering as a degree. I find the differences and similarities of our situations quite interesting tbh.
I kinda went through the same thing during my time in FIRST. I'm so sorry that this happened to you! :(( It's absolutely despicable how those were the tasks given to you. I hope that now, you are able to explore the field without any discrimination or anything holding you back!
As an experienced software engineer, I absolutely love how you show your confusion and missteps on the technology side of things. We all experience that frequently. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or spending time on work they should have automated. Also, building the weather station is awesome. Even if it turned out less accurate than the tools you already had, you yourself have a better understanding of what it all means. Plus it's fun!
Internet: Celsius is superior to Fahrenheit for calculating the weather Sabrina: actually they're both sort of useless to know how to dress Internet: what are you talking about, just look at the big number Sabrina: ...maybe I'm the one who's broken
In my (Celsius-using) opinion Celsius isn't inherently better than Fahrenheit, but since everyone's using it and it's no worse for weather than Fahrenheit, AND it's better to understand Kelvin that way, I think the USofA, the Cayman Islands and Liberia should just convert.
@@Smona in what universe does Celsius help you understand kelvin? Sure, the size of each degree is the same, and they line up, but how does 30C = 303.15k mean anything to anyone? Also, "it's no worse for weather"? You're metric brain is showing. It's absolutely worse for weather. All the God damn decimal points you'd run into because Celsius so ungodly imprecise is just downright annoying. Fahrenheit is better. 1.8 times better, to be exact.
@@Smonaheres the thing about Kelvin, Rankine exists making it a silly argument. Rankine is Fahrenheit spacing starting at absolute zero so to convert K to °R just multiply by 1.8. Kelvin is just more famous since everyone is forced to use SI for science in school. (This is a good thing, US Customary units are convenient individually but have terrible conversion factors compared to metric which has designed values and no conversions, just prefixes that theoretically could be used with US units but for some reason the kilofoot feels cursed.)
@@GeneralNickles Celsius makes understanding Kelvin easier since you only need to add or subtract 273.15 depending on which conversion you use. Multiplying by 1.8 is more mathematically speaking much more complicated, unless you only multiply in tens.
6:00 I actually made a spreadsheet for how to dress for cold weather when I worked the night shift for a job during winter where I'd have to be a few hours outside every shift. If I got my drip wrong, it sucked; I would either feel too cold or too hot. I had everything on there, how many layers of pants to wear, how many layers of sweaters, like six different kinds of gloves including mittens, buffs, face masks, hats, socks, it was gnarly. It took a while but I damn near reached perfection. I quickly learned that the "feels like" temperature was more reliable. I had the chart in kelvins, rankines, degrees celsius, and degrees fahrenheit, as well as dozenal, heximal, and decimal.
In Spain, weather reports on TV always give real temp, and temp sensation, but I don't watch TV, so I just go to the balcony feel it for a second and decide.
@@nena5518 I like this, but it's a bit confusing since every weather condition necessarily feels like itself. When it's 15C it has to feel like 15C with whatever the other actual conditions are (wind, humidity etc), but maybe it feels like an 8C with some other humidity. In principle surely the "feels-like" humidity and wind speed should be given along with the temperature
Celsius is easier for me because of a saying I heard before " 30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cold, and 0 is ice," so I know that if it is reaching 30, it's gonna be warm or hot depending on the humidity that day and the rest is self-explanatory. Edit: It also depends on where you are in the world. Some people are more acclimated to hot or cold climates, so the numbers slide up or down by about 5 to 10 and more degrees.
20's still too warm for me. 15 is nice. But still, celsius has always been fairly intuitive to me. Not that it helps when you don't check the weather forecast...
@@ladyblurred Yeah, that's fair. I just based mine on humidity and other factors than the numbers themselves. I just use the numbers as guidelines. Nothing is really set in stone for something that changes all the time, like the weather.
Every time I hear someone try to explain the benefits of Fahrenheit, they lose me at "imagine 0 is one of the coldest days you can have". The coldest days I've experienced have been below -40F. The scale just isn't designed with my climate in mind. At least when it's below 0C I know it's going to snow.
And for people from tropical countries where the temperatures rarely go below 12°C (53.6°F). On the other hand, everyone knows how cold ice is and how hot boiling water is.
Fahrenheit is a scale based on average danger to people. 0 is the threshold where it starts to become dangerous to be outside, and same with 100. That’s why it’s the best. In every other way freedom units are worse but I will defend Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit was based on a pretty arbitrary scale, TBH, 0-100 lining up with weather conditions in a temperate climate are just a bonus. Below 0°C it might snow, below 0°F it's probably too cold to snow.
Since all non-Kelvin non-Rankine temperature scales are arbitrary anyway, why shouldn't we use the one that goes from 0 to 100 instead of two arbitrary numbers that are not 0 and 100?
@@NYKevin100 Celsius isn't arbitrary though, it maps 1:1 with Kelvin, just offset by 273* degrees (* I think it might actually be 273.4 or something, but still 1:1 mapping).
@@KindredBrujah The size of the units are completely arbitrary. Temperature is one of only three units in the SI system that aren't defined in the context of other units. The Kelvin scale was created to use the same size units as Celsius, but there's nothing particularly special about the size of the unit. If the SI system had used Fahrenheit/Rankine instead, everything would still work the same although the numbers would be different.
I'm a big fan of the "real feel" temperature in the weather app. It seems to automatically incorporate the humidity and wind speed into a single temperature which makes it much easier to choose what to wear. This applies to both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
ok I literally just found ya'll via a video explaining tips on how to focus on things better. Watched this full screen, no phone, and I was genuinely hooked!! I'm in LOVE with how funny you make these videos, I am gonna have a hard time not binging the whole channel!
That infographic NEEDS to be a purchasable item! Seriously, it's gorgeous and you are absolutely leaving money on the table, not to mention the number of people leaving their houses in the wrong outfits for the weather.
@@inigo8740 Sooo...devise a simple questionnaire which spits out a modified version based on your responses. (Like: "Do you run hot or cold?" And/Or "Do prefer fewer thick layers or more thin layers?", "What's your favorite kind of weather?") That would require some beta testers though. I volunteer as tribute!
I'm an American who converted to metric. Let me help you: Figure out what you wear at 0°C. Then, subtract one layer per 10°C. Once you get to zero layers, you start putting layers back on because you've just landed in the middle east, death valley, or the Sahara if you're not on a tropical island.
@@LavaSaver same, I'm wearing the same thing at 10C as I am at 0C, it's only when it gets below about -15C that I really want more than 2 layers assuming it isn't windy.
I LOVE how you take things that sound simple, like "what's the weather today, do I need a jacket?" and make it as fun, entertaining, educational and...um, complicated, as humanly possible :) In terms of your personal preferences: Would you rather feel cozy/warm and risk sweating all day or would you rather feel cool/chill and risk shivering all day. I would rather risk being freezing cold for a few minutes than risk feeling even a little bit too warm for a few minutes.
@@lauramarschmallow2922 That would totally make sense for any normal person, which I am not: first of all I would have to carry it around and not constantly forget it somewhere, second of all I would feel too warm in the five seconds it takes me to realize I HAVE to take it off. :D
"It's not the heat that gets you..." Seriously though. A wet 10C feels a lot colder than a dry -10C. A wet, windy 15C will chill you a lot quicker than a dry, still -15C.
I really enjoyed the video, but we could sum it up into: "none of these scales failed you. your educational system did." lol No, but seriously, Celcius is more intuitive for me _becauce_ I grew up getting used to it. Probably, fahrenheit (which I had to look at the title to know how to write), feels more intuitive to you guys, even though it does not make sense "for the rest of the world". Also, there's a reason why this is called a "uNiVeRsAl SyStEm": most of the world uses it. Excluding temperatures, the rest of the "imperial system" feels like a scam and, imho, should be avoided.
i get that the metric system is more uniform, but i really do like the personality that the imperial system has. like, an inch. inching. going a little. or a cup! it's a cup! just think it makes a lot of sense and it's a nice reminder of earlier times without all this uniformity.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts Especially since cups/teaspoons/etc are just names for a metric measurements in metric countries (e.g. 1 cup = 250ml (1/4 litre) rather than America's 1 cup = 240ml). It's very common for people to buy too much or too little of an ingredient when reading recipes online because being told you need 1 litre is much easier to buy for rather than knowing you need 4 cups since liquids at the supermarket don't measure their volume in cups.
Having paid close attention to the weather, and living in Scotland (thus using Celsius), I've determined a better metric than temperature is the calendar: if the day ends in a Y then I'm too hot.
@@deki9827 Ummm I dont know if this is a r/woosh moment or not... but well, "if the DAY ends in a Y then I'm too hot." emphasis on day not month. Hope that helps.
If people took 30 minutes to find examples of extremes and mid-points from each scale in their own lives, it would have been very simple regardless of the scale used. For instance, 40 is unbearingly hot in Celcius and 0 is, obviously, freezing. Room temperature is 25. Just these 3 is more than enough in a lot of cases. In the video, the example of "10 degrees" is given. It is right in between room temperature and freezing, so you will want to get your coat. The problem comes from the "compactness" of Celcius. But even if Fahrenheit people argue otherwise, you don't need the difference between 54 F vs. 58 F. No one can tell that difference and it's useless anyway. So Celcius is much easier to learn as you don't have to play with a lot of numbers. 0s are freezing, 10s are cold, 20s are warm, 30s are hot, 40s are scorching hot. What does it matter if it is 23 vs 27 degrees for everyday life?
@@orangeandblack5 I'm pretty sure that's your brain playing tricks on you. Change the thermostat to Celsius and let's see if you will still notice the 2 degree Fahrenheit change.
So much of it is to do with where you grew up, isn't it... I am from Eastern Europe, and for me it’s -5C is fresh cold winter’s day, but not too cold, +10C to +15C is normal cool day where you need some layers, +21C to +23C is the perfect temp (for me) and anything that goes over ca +26C is way too hot.
As someone raised on Farenheit, I recently learned an intuitive way to think about Celsius (from @polýMATHY here on RUclips). 30 is hot 20 is nice 10 is cool 0 is ice It's not perfect, and doesn't include extreme temperatures (or below zeros for those of us with actual winters), but it's a useful calibration tool for me as I'm trying to learn to intuit both temperature metrics.
If you understand the difference between increments of 10 above zero you can apply the same logic to increments of 10 below zero as well. One of the memetics I've heard people use to explain it to Americans also had is 40 is frying, 50 is dying.
Misinterpreted the question - ignore this -Marques Brownlee is American. She was asking Marques about his experience with temperature. He spoke from that perspective. Why would you think any of those being interviewed (except the meteorologist) were framing things in a continental instead of regional perspective?-
That’s not was she said, “most of us are already familiar with a 0-100 scale,” not the Fahrenheit scale. When talking about weather, you practically only use ~50 degrees on the Celsius scale but ~100 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
@@Hornet135 My bad, I was thinking of 5:22, not the clip in the original post. I have no idea why she said that, unless she too was expecting most of her audience to be American.
Celsius: Water boils at 100°, freezes at 0° 0-5: very cold 6-10: cold 11-15: chilly 12-20: good and comfortable 21-25: warm 26-30: HOT 31+: very uncomfortable

@@AshleyRobles Right?! "This is my flowchart for indoor kids who have to go outdoors" gurl it's not even a flowchart at this point that's just a user manual 😂
I actually get the chart. I Cross-Country Skied throughout high school and our coach actually told us to do a similar thing- write down what layers work the best for us under certain conditions. It was really important for skiing because too cold and you could get hypothermia on a long ski. Too warm and you sweat and end up with the same result.
I'm not the outdoorsy type and I grew up in Mississippi. I never really understood Fahrenheit. I knew 80s and 90s were hot (due to there *always* being a suffocating amount of humidity), but my problem with F is the scale is too small. You can't really tell the difference between 67 and 68. My perspective really changed when I had a job that was mainly outside and I simultaneously made the decision to switch and track the temperature in Celsius. There is a noticeable difference between 15 and 16 and I like the fact that 0 is when water starts to freeze. We've recently had some -5 weather and woof, that's cold (humidity doesn't help in the cold either). I've been able to pin down my perfect day, a sunny mid-teens C day with no wind chill, any colder and you'd need a jacket. If it's ever 40 C outside, you'd better not be. It also helps to know 10 C = 50 F
And no one that grew up on F would consider the utterly random numbers and endless decimal places of C to be vaguely useful. Seriously, how can you people function on a scale where a difference of just 3 degrees can make the difference between needing pants and a sweater and needing shorts and a tank top? Celsius is laughably imprecise. The degrees are just too damn big.
@@GeneralNickles Both are arbitrary scales, one based on the boiling point of water and the other on the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride. Both were pretty inaccurate temperature scales, which is why they were both changed to be defined by Kelvin. On the point to what is better for 'weather measurement', it's all depends on what you grew up with. You just learn to pretty much know the difference of 25º C and 30º C, not sure how adding more in-between numbers would help anything, but then i grew up with it.

50 hot shower??? you gonna literally burn yourself. also about -5-15 being cold, thats just depends where you live but near 5/10 u can start walking pretty lightly
40°C is a pretty heavy fever. 37.5 is already a fever. 50°C shower is really, really hot for me. Like it'll actually be uncomfortably hot and might even be painful. I'm in the Netherlands and to me 0-10°C means it's time for a light winter jacket, maybe wear gloves, but it really depends on how cold the wind is.
I had to look up a converter (I don't use Celcius) but you're going to scald yourself in a shower that hot! It looked off when you talked about 30º being a super hot day (which is where I'm like Sabrina since every weather temperature you listed to me sounds like "bring a coat... or several") but knew that even a hot shower isn't typically over 100º F
I can't get over how smooth all the animations on this channel are. I could literally just watch a video of them all day with no commentary and I feel like no information would be lost
The worst thing is, sometimes the temperature CHANGES on you! Like it switches up on you! Like I thought we were solid man! The big number in my funny little app said so!
I also have a problem knowing what a temperature actually feels like, and I think it's because I moved a lot as a kid. There is a big difference between 80°F in the dry desert of New Mexico and 80°F in the humid swamp of Southern Georgia.
It truly just comes down to humidity at the end of the day though. I used to live in Arizona and the 100 degree weather didn’t bother me but when I moved to NY and NJ the humidity was suffocating and way more unbearable 😭
See you say that, but to me, 75 and humid is perfection, while 80 without can often still be too hot. Idk why, I just prefer humidity. I seem to be alone ...
I live in quebec canada, and one summer i worked with someone from maroc and he told me his 40+ celcius felt less opressive than 30C humid quebec. And our weather is mild.
yeah, except, for people who aren't acclimated to dry heat like in AZ it can be surprising when we get nauseated from it without thinking we found it all that uncomfortable, even with drinking a ton of water and barely going outdoors. it's truly not the same for everyone.
I was in the western US last summer and 40 degrees wasn't that bad but in japan/Hawaii (where I've lived) it's like 70% humidity and I'm dying in 30 degrees
Oh geepers Sabrina, during your 'champion' chat, I just wanted to reach out to your past self and give them a big hug. I think some of your imposter syndrome re:stem is about academics looking down on scientific education and outreach. You ARE doing good and important work in STEM. I have loved seeing your journey into the amazing science communicator you are today, and will become!
Uhhh.... As someone who only uses Celsius I can tell what to wear 0 and less, freezing temps 1-10, cold 11-15 chilly 16-22 warm 23-30 hot That's just how it be for me
We use lux or lumen, which is the total amount of light energy that hits a 1 metre square area held 1 meter away from 1 candle. No idea how you do it in American, but I imagine it's probably 16 yards of area held 8 feet away from a donkey with a lantern to give you 6.4 British that are coming.
I love this channel because half of the time it's like some cookie-cutter history/science education channel that I do find quite entertaining, and the other half is Sabrina being really funny It's a comedy channel hidden behind an educational channel and I love it
@@sofiacorreia206 Most apps do. The climate app on my Samsung does, it's basically what really matters, because it takes into account the humidity, the wind, and some other things. It's where it says “feels like” (I use my app in Portuguese, so I know it as “sensação térmica” which translates to “thermal sensation”, but according to what I googled, in English it's “feels like”)
@@sofiacorreia206 I Know The Weather Channel has a "Feels Like" index under the temperature. I look at it quite often because where I live it's normal for it to climb above 110 F.
0-35 jacket and sweatpants 36-60 sweatshirt and sweatpants 61-75 sweatpants and t-shirt 76-95 shorts and t-shirt 96+ idk it doesn't get that hot where I live
Same living in Los Angeles. I mean, I guess I've experienced some weather below 0°C on trips, but it is certainly not a normal temperature I am used to experiencing. I guess I could say, anything below 20°C is weather I would need a sweater of some kind, while anything above that I would have more minimal clothing.
This has never been an issue for me. When I switched to celsius, I was a door-to-door salesman, so I learned to feel what each number meant pretty well. I don't even check the weather anymore though, because these days I have like 3 temperature settings. If it's summer, wear less. if it's winter wear more. If it's any extreme, don't stay in that place very long
I only use that last one, and "keep a spare coat in the car". Even though I've often worked outside, I've never made a habit of checking the weather, since my adaptations will vary by the month or week instead of the day anyways.
Same. As long as you aren't outside for hours and you wear enough layers of clothing -10°C is not a problem for office/school commute. -10°C sucks if you use railroad. -5°C gotta wear thick winter hoodie below your winter jacket? 0°C Time to wear winter pants and winter wear. 5°C Time to wear winter jacket. 8°C gotta wear a jacket. 15°C gotta have more than a t-shirt. Like at 18°C you can get away with a t-shirt if it isn't windy and it's sunny. At 20°C shorts. 25°C is the limit of being able to wear clothes without sweating. Above 28°C it's like patrolling the Mojave desert. 30-35°C You can only survive naked.
@@niewazneniewazne1890 Pretty much but because I've got some weight on shifted down a step i.e. 8°C gotta have more than a t-shirt. And back up a step if not moving.

I have to say, my absolute favorite thing about your channel is that the answer is never to the question you asked. And that always makes me happy. Because it really shows how often we’re asking the wrong questions. But we need to know how to research to figure out what was the right question to start off with.
as someone from the Netherlands I disagree with the point that you made that Fahrenheit is intuitive because I have no idea what any of those numbers mean, because I didn't grow up with it so for me Celsius is intuitive. I think intuitivity relies on where you grew up.
I love how authentic this video feels. The curiosity and playfulness of the topic was infectious and there were so many moments where I felt like a kid again. The fact that this content is accessible and welcoming has given me relief from the shame I feel as someone who struggles in STEM. Instead I just get to cultivate wonder, and that's exactly what I need right now. Thank you
"The problem is I don't have enough experience GOING OUTSIDE!" I died laughing🤣 To be fair, I also suck and knowing the temperature based on numbers. It doesn't help that I grew up in the US and now live in a country that uses celsius so now I'm even more confused.
canada adopted metric soon after i got out of high school and i just cannot get my head around celsius in the summer time - wtf is 20c? 70f - yes i know that. However, in the winter 0c and below make so much sense. i always remember -40c = -40f and +40c = +100f
Might I, as a dutch viewer living in the Netherlands introduce you to Dew Point temperature: our 26C sometimes feels like a 40C, but it's because the humidity is so high that it feels like the air is pressing on us. I think as a Canadian you might have to get used to this the longer climate change is happening.
We use the humidex (humidity index) in Canada which apparently does use dew point. So the weather network in Canada tells you the actual temperature and then what it feels like (the current record is from 2007 when it was 34, with a dew point of 30, so that combined to a humidex rating of 53 degrees).
Ehm, yea but for people that own a phone this is not a problem. The phone tells you the weather but also what the weather FEELS like. Like, it's 26C but it FEELS like 40c.
The ending was a bit abrupt, I really wanted more information on the layout of the infographic and what conclusions you managed to draw. Also, asa person living in Sweden the seasons vary drastically so a week of data seems like it would be useless since almost all of the year would fall way outside of the boundaries of the collected data - but it might be less dramatic changes where you live I guess. Thanks for an interesting and amusing video.
I think I want to try doing this myself. Maybe it would be possible to make a website that could create a customized infographic for every person when they fill in their data when they try this experiment themselves.
I feel like the video ended abruptly because the process of getting stuck on the weather station and ultimately not being able to resolve it, she ended up with a lot of data she couldn't elaborate on. So she may have summarized it on the info graphic based on her notes of her going out on different days. Of course, she could have said as much and I'm left to assume now. 😅
As a kid, I associated some key temperatures with particular times of the year (in the town I grew up in), e.g., 12°C feels like a mid October afternoon, 36°C is mid July, 24°C is like mid April then, I assess all other tempretures reletive to them.
I was born in a place ranging from -3 to 32 degrees Celsius and never had any problems understanding the weather by the number. The only problem I had is weather changing drastically throughout the day, making the perfectly fitting clothes I was wearing, suddenly to warm or not warm enough.
This is so mood. I live in Finland, so in Autumn and Spring the weather can vary from like -5 to 10 from morning to afternoon so yea clothing is sometimes hard :))
We've been monitoring weather at home for almost 11 years at this point and I can confirm that when you check it regularly, you eventually get very good at guessing what to wear. Things I've learned (applicable for Central Europe) that may not be obvious on Sabrina's sheet: a) look at wind chill temperature (temperature adjusted with wind speed) until you understand how wind and temperature relates b) pressure doesn't change anything, but some people may get dizzy in lower pressure, lower pressure also raises chance for rain (I can explain why) c) humidity doesn't change right after rain, it takes time for the water to evaporate d) even professional equipment needs calibration regularly - I know...
I think the thing I love about this channel is that even when you do inevitably get the "your findings are invalidated by the accuracy of your measurements" comments, you've already done the work and experienced the fun of creating the weather station, and you'll keep doing fun projects like that in the future despite the fact that you kinda know that they were flawed by accuracy to begin with. It's less about gathering the most scientifically accurate data, and more the fun of learning, creating, and educating that makes all the videos that AIP creates so much fun to watch. P.S. as a fellow indoor kid I would 100% buy that poster
The line "The problem isn't Celsius, it's me; and the fact I don't have enough experience GOING OUTSIDE!" made me laugh so hard and I also instantly thought "SAME!" Fr though, the way you make these videos resonates with me so much and my brain just understands them!
As a teacher, loved the discourse around STEM pathways. Role models are important, as it can inspire people to look for pathways, but the second step of equal or greater importance is making sure there is a pathway for students to find. Also, as a person, I totally get being into writing code, maths and science and still looking at a raspberry pie and going "Wow, where's a set of instructions, I have no idea where to start."
Sabrina, I have a weather station that includes a digital version of that, it displays a stick figure whose dress changes based on temperatur, wind and humidity. I bought it about 15 years ago. So I'd say you're not the only person having difficulties figuring out how to dress for the weather.
I'm from a metric country, I lived in the USA for one year and adapting to the imperial units wasn't a big issue. The only one that I really really hated and I couldn't adapt to was Fahrenheit. I will be team Celsius forever!
I'm an American.... and I would be exactly the opposite. Even now I can see the benefits to the measurements of weight and distance (though I don't have a good metal frame of reference to begin to understand them in practical use beyond they're 10-scale) but I think Celcius is horrible.
I can't believe that this channel is so small (in terms of the entirety of RUclips). Like, this production quality is multi million dollar company level. I adore the content that this channel puts out and they deserve so much more recognition

No, but Kelvin (or some other scale where 0 means 0) is still the best.
I'd say Kelvin is only the best for science purposes. For everyday stuff it just makes the number unnecessarily large.

hi sabrina, the idea of calibrating yourself using a local weather station is moot since the margin of error on that $3 thermometer and the margin of error on that $12 sensor that you got off the internet is probably going to make the reading so inaccurate that using your phone would've just been better

"... Did exercise. Regretted exercise..."
I'm Australian. We converted most units to metric decades ago. Most of it made things easier and people quickly got a sense for what the units meant for everyday use. But the change from Fahrenheit to Celsius was the most difficult. I found myself constantly converting back to F to get a 'feel' for the forecast weather. That was, until I heard a simple little ditty that made sense of it all. It went: - The cold singles - the cool teens - the temperate twenties - the torrid thirties - the fierce forties. After that I could think easily in C. It's a more poetic version of 'look at the big number".
It’s been a bit more than a few decades. Over 50 years ago. I was so young at the time I never knew anything other than metric. My only exposure to Fahrenheit was the oven and my mothers 1960’s edition of the Womens Weekly cooking book. Fahrenheit for me is just a US based problem now since the rest of the world uses metric.
i like how an australian comedian living in the states put it: "fahrenheit is better; 100 is really hot, 80 is still pretty hot" LOL
Interesting. Didn't know Australia used metric. For me as someone born with metric, its impossible for me to understand why is hard to get C. 0 is where the water freezes, 100 is where it boils. Combine that with other general knowledge such as human body has around 36*C, and you can easily understand which temperature is comfortable and which not.

@@0311mitzaAustralia is one of the most metric countries on earth, we fully committed in the 1970s, before I was born. Even most people would give their height in centimetres before feet/inches. And when Americans give the temperature I have to convert to Celsius because I don't have a feel for Fahrenheit
Personal opinion: doesn't matter the scale, it ends up being subjective. A person who grew up in tropical weather will shiver at 25 C. A person who grew up in dry heat / cold will complain at the magnification due to humidity (looking at your Toronto and Vietnam). I grew up with Celsius, learned to convert to Fahrenheit due to gaming with Americans and their love of freedom units. Visited relatives in Vietnam who had a completely different scale of hot and cold. Live in Alberta, where we can get snow 12 months of the year (yes, that includes the summer months of May to August) and where weather changes in a literal blink of your eyes. Temperature dropping to 10 C is freezing during summer, but blissfully warm coming out of a freeze of -15 C and below. Temperature systems give us a common vocabulary to complain about the weather. What makes sense is what you grow up with.
and common vocabulary to complain about its common vocabulary! thanks for your comment. I enjoyed reading it.
Exactly! Of course your body acclimatises after a couple of weeks in a new climate, but your idea of what number is cold and hot is is entirely based off of your own perceptions growing up.
I spent almost two months in the UK in the winter, my body acclimatised after two or three weeks, and after I set the thermostat to 21°C and I felt that as a really hot temperature it baffled me, because I come from tropical Brazil, 21°C would be a "cold" night in my city.
From that point forward I consider temperature to be just a number, and I follow my instincts... My hands are currently cold in 26°C weather, but I know sometimes I can endure 14°C in shorts, T-Shirt and flip-flops... And sometimes I don't, so I don't even bother trying too much, I just try dressing based of my previous experiences and if it doesn't work out I'll dress differently the next day.
You're absolutely right!!! I live in Thailand and I don't check the weather because It's always hot like hell and I don't care if it's gonna rain even if I bring an umbrella I'm still wet lol.

Yup, one time it was like 18°C but felt like 26°C
It makes sense that Fahrenheit gives you a 0 to 100 scale of how hot it is outside, but if you didn't grow up with the scale, you still don't know what the numbers really mean. This shows that the best "every day" temperature scale is always the one you're familiar with.
Yeah for day to day use, neither really is better than the other in my opinion, if you're doing science, then celsius or kelvin is probably ideal, but for day to day use, whatever you grew up with is best
At -40 they both get along anyway.
Sabrina's comment about 0 being a really cold day and 100 being a really hot day made Fahrenheit make a lot of sense, for a very brief moment. Then I remembered that room temperature is around 70 °F (when intuitively it should be 50) and it felt weird again.
@@hoodiesticks general room temperature varies depending on where you are in the US. For the south it may be 80 (which is fairly hot) and in more northern areas it could be 55-60, which is warm-ish?

Honestly humidity is the one deciding factor on whether you will be able to stand the weather or not. I could happily sit in 30o weather if the humidity was low but so help me god in 20o when my sweat starts sticking to me
Also love how your method in this video was literally just touch grass
This is so so true. I used to live in Arizona and the 100 degree weather didn’t bother me but when I moved to NY and NJ the humidity was suffocating and way more unbearable 😭
Yep!
I was at a festival the other day. It was only 21°C but I felt nauseous and passed out.
I also spent the day surrounded on all sides by people who were also spending the whole day dancing in a walled off tent.
It was 30% humidity outside but inside?
It really taught me to consider humidity.
Good weather apps also include "xx°C, feels like yy°C" and that second temperature takes humidity, cloudiness and wind into account in order to give a "feeling" temperature.
I prefer higher humidity tbh
To be fair, a lot of problems can be resolved by touch grass lmao

i'm crying at the expert's opinions literally being "you need to touch some grass". my weather trick has always been opening the window and standing in front of it and getting dressed off of how that feels.
Yeah, that's how I do it as well. If the temperature is ambiguous (because it'S not freezing or hot outside), I open the window, wait a minute or two and then dress based on what it felt like (with the additional benefit of seeing whether its cloudy or rainy and if it's humid or not).
me too. i just step out to my balcony and feel if i gotta wear short sleeves or long sleeves, and look at the sky to see if i need to bring an umbrella.
then double check with my city’s government’s own weather app to make sure i’m well-equipped.
This. It's also a lot simpler than building a table or a weather station.
Ähm? I am able to see if it's windy, rainy, foggy, dry cloudless without opening the window and matching that with the temperature i see that's enough, i don't need to try with the open window our hop outside the door. Maybe it's a long term memory problem for people...
I just put on shorts and a t-shirt bc if it's too cold to wear that, where I live, it's a bad day to go outside
I as a european never had a problem in imagining how cold or hot a Celsius number is. I guess your problem is that you have two different systems in your mind while we europeans NEVER come in contact with everything else then Celsius in our normal lifes.
My favorite thing about every video is how this channel shows how people can act on shower thoughts to tackle questions everyone has had but no one to answer. Just because a question or feeling seems small, it doesn't mean that it isn't worth understanding. As a teacher, it's important to encourage curiosity and that's the epitome of this channel.

@@ArdePier Agreed, now if only the school system can catch up with this comment.
As a Canadian, the freezing point of water is so important for making sense of weather, that I cannot imagine using a system that is not centred on that temperature.
You literally have to remember 1 number.
It's not that fucking hard.
Get over yourself.
I understand your point but the only time it’s important is when you’re near the freezing temperature. So it doesn’t really matter as long as you know when the water will freeze. I live in Alaska so my experience is probably similar to yours. I use Fahrenheit. I just know if it’s below 32 it’s icy. Other than that it’s all about previous experience. I like Fahrenheit for the 0 being really cold and 100 being really hot aspect. I like Celsius for chemistry class when I’m dealing with both freezing and boiling liquids.
@@rivermahugh4575 I think it really depends on the country. In France, I feel like 0°C (32°F) is really a "symbolic" temperature meaning "REALLY cold", and it's close to the coldest i've ever seen (actually the coldest i've ever seen was -8°C, or 18°F, but may be because I've only lived in Metropolitan France for 3.5 years, I used to live in French Guiana where 20°C/68°F is already too cold to ever happen as well as 35°C/95°F being too hot to ever happen)
As a Canadian, wouldn't you be more concerned about when the salt truck stops being able to melt the roads AKA -21 C?
celcius is perfect you know once it goes below 0 it snows and if it goes above 0 it rains it makes way more sense then ferinheight

As a Russian I find it very interesting that all the Fahrenheit explanations I've seen do not include minus Fahrenheit when it's normal where I live for temperature to be lower than 0 Fahrenheit in winter and that's exactly why I find this Fahrenheit "plus side" completely useless. Like 0 Fahrenheit is *really* not the "coldest cold". It's temperature when I still go for walks...
We go into the negative side of our scale. Two Christmas's ago the temp was 0°f, but the real feel was -25 meaning you better stay bundled up or you'll freeze to death. That's -31°c for you. Getting to 0°f in Pennsylvania where I live isnt normal.
I was the little girl who loved legos and robots, but I never really had the ability to learn about engineering except through trial and error. I joined FIRST robotics in high school, but the combination of being the only girl and being a little bit behind everyone else meant I was usually excluded from actually building the robot and given jobs like making posters or the bumpers for the robot. I wasn’t learning anything and it really turned me off of the subject. I’ve found another topic which I’m very passionate about, but I couldn’t help but think about the little girl who just really wanted to engineer a robot but nobody was willing to teach her how during the champion portion of the video.
FRC gang 😎😎
I come from a very similar background but instead did VEX robotics (FRC isn't very popular in the UK). I joined my robotics club long after everyone else did so I was behind and quite honestly I never caught up. I was mostly the pack donkey tbh though I didn't mind completely as at the end of the day I was there for the people as the club taught me how to socialise. Though I don't necessarily identify as such, there were other girls at the club which was helpful, though I don't think this affected me too much due to my experience of gender. I did have a champion who was my engineering teacher who was basically a man child but had the charisma and networking to keep us motivated and funded. There was also sixth formers that were very helpful. The entire club was all years (11-18yro) so there was a culture of (reluctant) teaching available and cross-year teams. It was an interesting place during it's prime yrs and you could probably write a sitcom about it. It did change after a few years as people left and of course the rona but it did inspire me to pick engineering as a subject for sixth form which has eventually led to me choosing to do Electronic and Electrical Engineering as a degree. I find the differences and similarities of our situations quite interesting tbh.
That's fucked up. I'm sorry that happened to you at such a formative age.
☹️ I hate stories like these, they treated you so poorly! *hug*
I kinda went through the same thing during my time in FIRST. I'm so sorry that this happened to you! :(( It's absolutely despicable how those were the tasks given to you. I hope that now, you are able to explore the field without any discrimination or anything holding you back!
As an experienced software engineer, I absolutely love how you show your confusion and missteps on the technology side of things. We all experience that frequently. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or spending time on work they should have automated.
Also, building the weather station is awesome. Even if it turned out less accurate than the tools you already had, you yourself have a better understanding of what it all means. Plus it's fun!

In my (Celsius-using) opinion Celsius isn't inherently better than Fahrenheit, but since everyone's using it and it's no worse for weather than Fahrenheit, AND it's better to understand Kelvin that way, I think the USofA, the Cayman Islands and Liberia should just convert.
@@Smona Here’s the thing: what if we want to annoy the world with different measurement systems
@@Smona in what universe does Celsius help you understand kelvin? Sure, the size of each degree is the same, and they line up, but how does 30C = 303.15k mean anything to anyone?
Also, "it's no worse for weather"? You're metric brain is showing. It's absolutely worse for weather. All the God damn decimal points you'd run into because Celsius so ungodly imprecise is just downright annoying.
Fahrenheit is better.
1.8 times better, to be exact.
@@Smonaheres the thing about Kelvin, Rankine exists making it a silly argument.
Rankine is Fahrenheit spacing starting at absolute zero so to convert K to °R just multiply by 1.8.
Kelvin is just more famous since everyone is forced to use SI for science in school. (This is a good thing, US Customary units are convenient individually but have terrible conversion factors compared to metric which has designed values and no conversions, just prefixes that theoretically could be used with US units but for some reason the kilofoot feels cursed.)
@@GeneralNickles Celsius makes understanding Kelvin easier since you only need to add or subtract 273.15 depending on which conversion you use. Multiplying by 1.8 is more mathematically speaking much more complicated, unless you only multiply in tens.
6:00 I actually made a spreadsheet for how to dress for cold weather when I worked the night shift for a job during winter where I'd have to be a few hours outside every shift. If I got my drip wrong, it sucked; I would either feel too cold or too hot. I had everything on there, how many layers of pants to wear, how many layers of sweaters, like six different kinds of gloves including mittens, buffs, face masks, hats, socks, it was gnarly. It took a while but I damn near reached perfection. I quickly learned that the "feels like" temperature was more reliable. I had the chart in kelvins, rankines, degrees celsius, and degrees fahrenheit, as well as dozenal, heximal, and decimal.
Are you on the spectrum or whatever is polite to say these day in English? That sounds like the kind of dedication to a task or subject I've seen.
@@LutraLovegood maybe, but not that i know of
@@brauljo I'm a high intensity human furnace so even if I tried so scale dress to temp at some point I'm stripping layers anyway.
My weather app has a "real-feel" metric that gives a perceived temp and not a measured one and living in a humid climate has saved my butt a few times
As someone who lives in georgia, I need this. GA's baseline YEARLY humidity starts at 60% lmfao
In Spain, weather reports on TV always give real temp, and temp sensation, but I don't watch TV, so I just go to the balcony feel it for a second and decide.
Old-school, my parents had a heat index chart on the fridge.
This! My app has that. It may be 15C in the shade but wind and humidity might make it feel like 8C.
@@nena5518 I like this, but it's a bit confusing since every weather condition necessarily feels like itself. When it's 15C it has to feel like 15C with whatever the other actual conditions are (wind, humidity etc), but maybe it feels like an 8C with some other humidity. In principle surely the "feels-like" humidity and wind speed should be given along with the temperature
Celsius is easier for me because of a saying I heard before " 30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cold, and 0 is ice," so I know that if it is reaching 30, it's gonna be warm or hot depending on the humidity that day and the rest is self-explanatory.
Edit: It also depends on where you are in the world. Some people are more acclimated to hot or cold climates, so the numbers slide up or down by about 5 to 10 and more degrees.
20's still too warm for me. 15 is nice.
But still, celsius has always been fairly intuitive to me. Not that it helps when you don't check the weather forecast...
@@ladyblurred Yeah, that's fair. I just based mine on humidity and other factors than the numbers themselves. I just use the numbers as guidelines. Nothing is really set in stone for something that changes all the time, like the weather.
As an American, you have finally made Celsius make some usable sense to me!
@@ladyblurred as a person living in the Philippines, 20 is turtleneck weather for me. 15 is im bringing a coat today
@@ladyblurred Yeah about 23 is my limit as well.
Every time I hear someone try to explain the benefits of Fahrenheit, they lose me at "imagine 0 is one of the coldest days you can have". The coldest days I've experienced have been below -40F. The scale just isn't designed with my climate in mind. At least when it's below 0C I know it's going to snow.
And for people from tropical countries where the temperatures rarely go below 12°C (53.6°F). On the other hand, everyone knows how cold ice is and how hot boiling water is.
@@ricardoalexisnolazcocontre9110 but boiling water hurts and is not regularly touched
Fahrenheit is a scale based on average danger to people. 0 is the threshold where it starts to become dangerous to be outside, and same with 100. That’s why it’s the best. In every other way freedom units are worse but I will defend Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit was based on a pretty arbitrary scale, TBH, 0-100 lining up with weather conditions in a temperate climate are just a bonus.
Below 0°C it might snow, below 0°F it's probably too cold to snow.
@@Dalenthas Nah dude it's never too cold to snow. Take it from someone in the Canadian prairies.
8:05 “this is an IR sensor… not fully confident what “IR” is… I know it’s infrared but *what is that*” just sums up every topic is school
Translation: "I understand 0 to 100 perfectly fine, but can't wrap my head around -10 to 40"
Since all non-Kelvin non-Rankine temperature scales are arbitrary anyway, why shouldn't we use the one that goes from 0 to 100 instead of two arbitrary numbers that are not 0 and 100?
@@NYKevin100 Celsius isn't arbitrary though, it maps 1:1 with Kelvin, just offset by 273* degrees (* I think it might actually be 273.4 or something, but still 1:1 mapping).
@@KindredBrujah The size of the units are completely arbitrary. Temperature is one of only three units in the SI system that aren't defined in the context of other units.
The Kelvin scale was created to use the same size units as Celsius, but there's nothing particularly special about the size of the unit. If the SI system had used Fahrenheit/Rankine instead, everything would still work the same although the numbers would be different.
I'm a big fan of the "real feel" temperature in the weather app. It seems to automatically incorporate the humidity and wind speed into a single temperature which makes it much easier to choose what to wear. This applies to both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

I'm an American who converted to metric. Let me help you: Figure out what you wear at 0°C. Then, subtract one layer per 10°C. Once you get to zero layers, you start putting layers back on because you've just landed in the middle east, death valley, or the Sahara if you're not on a tropical island.
So you go out naked at some point? 🤔

@@LavaSaver same, I'm wearing the same thing at 10C as I am at 0C, it's only when it gets below about -15C that I really want more than 2 layers assuming it isn't windy.

I LOVE how you take things that sound simple, like "what's the weather today, do I need a jacket?" and make it as fun, entertaining, educational and...um, complicated, as humanly possible :) In terms of your personal preferences: Would you rather feel cozy/warm and risk sweating all day or would you rather feel cool/chill and risk shivering all day. I would rather risk being freezing cold for a few minutes than risk feeling even a little bit too warm for a few minutes.
I would suggest a Übergangsjacke! XD
@@lauramarschmallow2922 That would totally make sense for any normal person, which I am not: first of all I would have to carry it around and not constantly forget it somewhere, second of all I would feel too warm in the five seconds it takes me to realize I HAVE to take it off. :D
Oh MAN are you going to hate future common weather induced by climate change.
First, we need to define what weather is, and whether jackets really exist...
"It's not the heat that gets you..."
Seriously though. A wet 10C feels a lot colder than a dry -10C. A wet, windy 15C will chill you a lot quicker than a dry, still -15C.
I really enjoyed the video, but we could sum it up into: "none of these scales failed you. your educational system did." lol
No, but seriously, Celcius is more intuitive for me _becauce_ I grew up getting used to it. Probably, fahrenheit (which I had to look at the title to know how to write), feels more intuitive to you guys, even though it does not make sense "for the rest of the world". Also, there's a reason why this is called a "uNiVeRsAl SyStEm": most of the world uses it. Excluding temperatures, the rest of the "imperial system" feels like a scam and, imho, should be avoided.
i get that the metric system is more uniform, but i really do like the personality that the imperial system has. like, an inch. inching. going a little. or a cup! it's a cup! just think it makes a lot of sense and it's a nice reminder of earlier times without all this uniformity.
@@dottyContrarian this is the stupidest argument for imperial I've ever heard.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts Especially since cups/teaspoons/etc are just names for a metric measurements in metric countries (e.g. 1 cup = 250ml (1/4 litre) rather than America's 1 cup = 240ml). It's very common for people to buy too much or too little of an ingredient when reading recipes online because being told you need 1 litre is much easier to buy for rather than knowing you need 4 cups since liquids at the supermarket don't measure their volume in cups.
@@dottyContrarian i don't want personality in my system
And she’s NOT funny.
Having paid close attention to the weather, and living in Scotland (thus using Celsius), I've determined a better metric than temperature is the calendar: if the day ends in a Y then I'm too hot.
😂😂😂😂
:)))
Even in January????
And not in March, April, June, August, September, October, November, December???
@@deki9827 Ummm I dont know if this is a r/woosh moment or not... but well, "if the DAY ends in a Y then I'm too hot." emphasis on day not month. Hope that helps.
If people took 30 minutes to find examples of extremes and mid-points from each scale in their own lives, it would have been very simple regardless of the scale used. For instance, 40 is unbearingly hot in Celcius and 0 is, obviously, freezing. Room temperature is 25. Just these 3 is more than enough in a lot of cases. In the video, the example of "10 degrees" is given. It is right in between room temperature and freezing, so you will want to get your coat.
The problem comes from the "compactness" of Celcius. But even if Fahrenheit people argue otherwise, you don't need the difference between 54 F vs. 58 F. No one can tell that difference and it's useless anyway. So Celcius is much easier to learn as you don't have to play with a lot of numbers. 0s are freezing, 10s are cold, 20s are warm, 30s are hot, 40s are scorching hot. What does it matter if it is 23 vs 27 degrees for everyday life?

1:20 as someone from the Caribbean 12⁰ C means its cold. Anything above 28⁰ C is hot and anything below 18⁰ C is cold.
So much of it is to do with where you grew up, isn't it... I am from Eastern Europe, and for me it’s -5C is fresh cold winter’s day, but not too cold, +10C to +15C is normal cool day where you need some layers, +21C to +23C is the perfect temp (for me) and anything that goes over ca +26C is way too hot.
Just look at the number "feels like" that most weather apps provide. It uses all the data like temperature, humidity, wind, sunlight.
Exactly! This will always be the most accurate representation of the temperature for you.
Do any of the state what humidity, wind and sunlight levels they assume for the feels-like to feel like itself?
Some weather reports (I'm on Texas, USA) now have both a "RealFeel"/"Feels Like" alternate AND a "Feels Like In The Shade" number, even.
As someone raised on Farenheit, I recently learned an intuitive way to think about Celsius (from @polýMATHY here on RUclips).
30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cool
0 is ice
It's not perfect, and doesn't include extreme temperatures (or below zeros for those of us with actual winters), but it's a useful calibration tool for me as I'm trying to learn to intuit both temperature metrics.
I was looking for this comment. Thanks! (I recently watched that polymathy video to try to improve my own intuitive understanding of temperatures)
The rhyme I learned to do the same is:
30 is hot
20 is pleasing
10 is not
and 0 is freezing
The rhythm really makes it stick for me.
If you understand the difference between increments of 10 above zero you can apply the same logic to increments of 10 below zero as well. One of the memetics I've heard people use to explain it to Americans also had is 40 is frying, 50 is dying.
And 40 will cook you alive

I actually get the chart. I Cross-Country Skied throughout high school and our coach actually told us to do a similar thing- write down what layers work the best for us under certain conditions. It was really important for skiing because too cold and you could get hypothermia on a long ski. Too warm and you sweat and end up with the same result.
I'm not the outdoorsy type and I grew up in Mississippi. I never really understood Fahrenheit. I knew 80s and 90s were hot (due to there *always* being a suffocating amount of humidity), but my problem with F is the scale is too small. You can't really tell the difference between 67 and 68. My perspective really changed when I had a job that was mainly outside and I simultaneously made the decision to switch and track the temperature in Celsius. There is a noticeable difference between 15 and 16 and I like the fact that 0 is when water starts to freeze. We've recently had some -5 weather and woof, that's cold (humidity doesn't help in the cold either). I've been able to pin down my perfect day, a sunny mid-teens C day with no wind chill, any colder and you'd need a jacket. If it's ever 40 C outside, you'd better not be. It also helps to know 10 C = 50 F
Very few people who grew up on °c would consider the seemingly random °f numbers to be vaguely intuitive.
And no one that grew up on F would consider the utterly random numbers and endless decimal places of C to be vaguely useful.

On the point to what is better for 'weather measurement', it's all depends on what you grew up with. You just learn to pretty much know the difference of 25º C and 30º C, not sure how adding more in-between numbers would help anything, but then i grew up with it.

The fact that this content is accessible and welcoming has given me relief from the shame I feel as someone who struggles in STEM. Instead I just get to cultivate wonder, and that's exactly what I need right now. Thank you
That thumbnail better be clickbait or I'm gonna riot...

I’m right and you all know it
As an electrical engineer seeing Sabrina using tweezers to connect the jumper wire to the bread board was just gold humor
I first thought she had broken the tip of the wire and was removing it with tweezers when I realized she was connecting it I was like 😑
I would pay good money to have a motion design course hosted by Sabrina. The motion design in this video was 🔥
I really like how Sabrina really shows the difference between a smart person and a knowledgeable person by just being herself
"The problem is I don't have enough experience GOING OUTSIDE!" I died laughing🤣
To be fair, I also suck and knowing the temperature based on numbers. It doesn't help that I grew up in the US and now live in a country that uses celsius so now I'm even more confused.
canada adopted metric soon after i got out of high school and i just cannot get my head around celsius in the summer time - wtf is 20c? 70f - yes i know that. However, in the winter 0c and below make so much sense.
i always remember -40c = -40f and +40c = +100f
Might I, as a dutch viewer living in the Netherlands introduce you to Dew Point temperature: our 26C sometimes feels like a 40C, but it's because the humidity is so high that it feels like the air is pressing on us. I think as a Canadian you might have to get used to this the longer climate change is happening.
We use the humidex (humidity index) in Canada which apparently does use dew point. So the weather network in Canada tells you the actual temperature and then what it feels like (the current record is from 2007 when it was 34, with a dew point of 30, so that combined to a humidex rating of 53 degrees).
Ehm, yea but for people that own a phone this is not a problem. The phone tells you the weather but also what the weather FEELS like. Like, it's 26C but it FEELS like 40c.
Wait, but... how are you not selling that poster, even as a download?? It's so cool! You could even offer Fahrenheit and Celsius versions!
The ending was a bit abrupt, I really wanted more information on the layout of the infographic and what conclusions you managed to draw. Also, asa person living in Sweden the seasons vary drastically so a week of data seems like it would be useless since almost all of the year would fall way outside of the boundaries of the collected data - but it might be less dramatic changes where you live I guess. Thanks for an interesting and amusing video.
I think I want to try doing this myself. Maybe it would be possible to make a website that could create a customized infographic for every person when they fill in their data when they try this experiment themselves.
@@bettievw that's a great idea!
@@bettievw That sounds really cool!
ya I would have liked to see some test cases of using the infographic!
I feel like the video ended abruptly because the process of getting stuck on the weather station and ultimately not being able to resolve it, she ended up with a lot of data she couldn't elaborate on. So she may have summarized it on the info graphic based on her notes of her going out on different days. Of course, she could have said as much and I'm left to assume now. 😅

Moral of the Story
Touch Grass
As a kid, I associated some key temperatures with particular times of the year (in the town I grew up in), e.g., 12°C feels like a mid October afternoon, 36°C is mid July, 24°C is like mid April then, I assess all other tempretures reletive to them.
I was born in a place ranging from -3 to 32 degrees Celsius and never had any problems understanding the weather by the number. The only problem I had is weather changing drastically throughout the day, making the perfectly fitting clothes I was wearing, suddenly to warm or not warm enough.
This is so mood. I live in Finland, so in Autumn and Spring the weather can vary from like -5 to 10 from morning to afternoon so yea clothing is sometimes hard :))
@@ami1959 put some sudden rain on top of it to make it perfect haha
Dearest Sabrina,
PLEASE CAN WE PURCHASE THAT INFOGRAPHIC PLEASE?? Hell, i'll even pay for a digital download and print it myself!
THIS plz
I love that this is basically "Go outside to experience it more to understand". BRILLIANT!
For my American friends, remember this rhyme:
30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cold
0 is ice
We've been monitoring weather at home for almost 11 years at this point and I can confirm that when you check it regularly, you eventually get very good at guessing what to wear.
Things I've learned (applicable for Central Europe) that may not be obvious on Sabrina's sheet:
a) look at wind chill temperature (temperature adjusted with wind speed) until you understand how wind and temperature relates
b) pressure doesn't change anything, but some people may get dizzy in lower pressure, lower pressure also raises chance for rain (I can explain why)
c) humidity doesn't change right after rain, it takes time for the water to evaporate
d) even professional equipment needs calibration regularly - I know...

Sometimes this channel is like the lovechild of Stuff Made Here and How To ADHD
Bold of you to assume Stuff Made Here is not an accurate description of ADHD
I think the thing I love about this channel is that even when you do inevitably get the "your findings are invalidated by the accuracy of your measurements" comments, you've already done the work and experienced the fun of creating the weather station, and you'll keep doing fun projects like that in the future despite the fact that you kinda know that they were flawed by accuracy to begin with. It's less about gathering the most scientifically accurate data, and more the fun of learning, creating, and educating that makes all the videos that AIP creates so much fun to watch.
P.S. as a fellow indoor kid I would 100% buy that poster
“I can eat this. It looks crunchy!” 😂
The line "The problem isn't Celsius, it's me; and the fact I don't have enough experience GOING OUTSIDE!" made me laugh so hard and I also instantly thought "SAME!"
Fr though, the way you make these videos resonates with me so much and my brain just understands them!
As a teacher, loved the discourse around STEM pathways. Role models are important, as it can inspire people to look for pathways, but the second step of equal or greater importance is making sure there is a pathway for students to find.
Also, as a person, I totally get being into writing code, maths and science and still looking at a raspberry pie and going "Wow, where's a set of instructions, I have no idea where to start."
Sabrina, I have a weather station that includes a digital version of that, it displays a stick figure whose dress changes based on temperatur, wind and humidity. I bought it about 15 years ago. So I'd say you're not the only person having difficulties figuring out how to dress for the weather.
Australians - 12 degrees is freezing, jumper weather
Canadians - 28 degrees is boiling, singlet weather
I'm from a metric country, I lived in the USA for one year and adapting to the imperial units wasn't a big issue. The only one that I really really hated and I couldn't adapt to was Fahrenheit. I will be team Celsius forever!
I was the opposite being an American adopting the metric system
I can't see that being an issue. Anytime you doubt anything - just google a converter
I'm an American.... and I would be exactly the opposite. Even now I can see the benefits to the measurements of weight and distance (though I don't have a good metal frame of reference to begin to understand them in practical use beyond they're 10-scale) but I think Celcius is horrible.
@@anthonydelfino6171yeah- I used Celsius for a couple years and when I switched to Fahrenheit, it was way more accurate.
@@arandompersonontheinternet4136wdym both are accurate
I can't believe that this channel is so small (in terms of the entirety of RUclips). Like, this production quality is multi million dollar company level. I adore the content that this channel puts out and they deserve so much more recognition
4:50 "anyway I get all of that in concept, the problem is that I still don't know how to use it"
Me in therapy
This has quickly become one of my favourite channels on RUclips. Love everything you make
