30F isn't even cold. Maybe -30F.

30F is when I stop wearing shorts

Oh okay, then 30C isn't even hot. Maybe 50C or 60C.

The hottest temperature recorded was 56.7C and that was in the US back in 1913. So yeah 50 is hot. 40 is hot. 35 with high humidity is hot. 60 is almost food safe.

Oh we're pivoting away from personal, subjective opinion and towards objectivity now?

30F is literally freezing, which is obviously below "cold."

I don't know, when you're living in Minnesota and it was -40 a couple of weeks ago and it suddenly hits 30F, everyone is in shorts and T-shirts, it feels warm. And if you're in Florida and it hits 30F ever, it feels cold. It's definitely subjective. But it remains true that the US southwest has the record for the hottest weather recorded on earth, so far. That is objective.

30F is definitely hotter than -40F, there's no argument from me there.

I also do not dispute your similarly new point of the US southwest having the record for the hottest weather recorded on earth, so far.

We appear to disagree on other things, though.
