[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8647008, member: 23751"] Of course it isn't. That's a silly argument that nobody has made. Me: "is it raining out?" You: "55 degrees!" Isn't something anyone here has been suggesting. The objective temperature is the answer to, and is not misleading when, someone asks if it's hot or cold out, though. 78 degrees and raining is still 78 degrees. You may need an umbrella or different shoes, but if you're going to be hot at 78 and dry, you're going to be hot at 78 and raining. Nobody has argued that you should withhold other useful information when it's occasionally available. I don't know where you get that from. Here in southern California unless the Santa Anas are happening there is rarely wind and even more rarely rain. Also, when people ask how hot it is out, they generally don't expect you to go walk outside, lick your finger and hold it up to test how much of a breeze there is, check to see if it's partly cloudy or not, measure the humidity and then walk back inside to give information. Generally letting them know that it's 76 out is sufficient for them to gauge their own comfort level at that temperature. No. That's a faulty assumption. My wife and I have been together for 13 years and married for 10. I'm generally cold when she's hot. However, body temperatures vary, so what is cold for me will vary from day to day and by up several degrees. Sometimes I get cold at 68, sometimes 70, even as high as 73 or 74 some days. It's the same with where she feels hot. And rarely, as in only a few days out of the year, I'm hot at the same time that she's cold. I have a general idea of when it's likely for her to be hot or cold, but I'd never assume. I'd ask her if she was hot or cold, or provide her with the temperature and let her decide. [/QUOTE]
