You only have 3 integers between t-shirt weather and scorcher!? That's not enough.
65F is 18.333 C
75F is 23.8889 C
85F is 29.4444 C
95F is 35 C
Why the obsession with integers? For weather we normally add a decimal point. And while I don't agree that 18°C is a scorcher that means there are 29 commonly used values between 15 and 18°C.
In the metric system we are very used to decimal parts in units.
Edit: I mean we add one digit after a decimal point: eg. My thermostat shows 18.7°C for example.
We also use decimal points when accuracy matters (like taking the temp of someone alive). For most things though we can just use whole numbers.
I mean....That's exactly what I do too. The difference between 67F and 69F is not something you could reasonably put your finger on. 15 and 17C though is noticeable.
Taking body temperatures? Of course we measure the extra decimal place.
Again, this is just down to what you're used to.
LOOK at what Europeans have been demanding your respect for all this time
Scorcher in Ireland is 18C because the weather here rarely goes above it. Max daytime temperature in July is generally 20C according to this page. I'd say our European neighbours barely consider that t-shirt weather. It's humid as all fuck here nearly all the time so that does affect perception of the heat.
On the upside we very rarely go below 0C either so driving conditions are nearly always good.
