Both systems are arbitrary. The numbers themselves aren't important, it's what they represent. Here is how I'd define temps where I live

Below 0 - literally freezing, bundle up or stay indoors
0-6ish - Chilly, maybe keep your gloves on
7-14ish - Cool, probably keep a jacket on
15-20 - pretty comfy
20-25 - perfect BBQ weather
25-30 starting to get quite toasty, dress light and keep hydrated
30+ Hot, especially in a country without widespread residential AC. Don't take needless trips and make sure you drink water.

That's fairly personal too, there are people in my office who strongly disagree with those ranges. If you spent a year with Celsius, you'd have no issue internalising it across all the seasons.

Is this a parody? Why would you measure ingredients by volume rather than literally how much ingredient there is with mass? In addition, relying on cups limits you to measurements that fit neatly into said cups. In either case, you need another piece of equipment, but one lets you do so much more than the other

The way I've always looked at it is this:

-30: Don't leave the house
-20: Wear a heavy coat
-10: Wear a lighter coat
0: Wear a sweater
10: Light Jacket weather
20: T-Shirt weather
30: No Shirt weather

Of course, this changes based on where you were raised. Some people can handle -30c weather. I can't.
