Anything in the 40's is extreme. -40 is cold as fucking balls, a boiling pot of water will freeze instantly if you throw it in the air. The air is like razor blades on your face.

+40 is hot as fucking balls. You can cook an egg on the sidewalk.

If you say "It's going to get to freezing temps tonight" you know that means the temp is going to fall below 0.

Anything in between those extremes is just easy to understand and recognize.

All that really means is your arbitrary values for temperature comforts are 0 and 40 instead of 32 and 100. the scale for both temperatures is linear. If you can "guess" how 20 degrees feels is based on 0 being freezing and 40 being too hot, you can do the same for 70 in Fahrenheit
