I know the 0c is the temp at which water freezes. and 100c is the temp and which it boils. But when they say that's it 30c outside. I'm putting up my jacket. Because (logically) it should be about 64f. (30+32=62). But the conversion doesn't work like that at all. So if it's 30c out side. I need to on a....dang...I need an aspirin.
