Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit? In Brazil it's late spring now, since it is on the southern hemisphere.

140 freedom units.
Celsius, it be unfun down there
me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment
Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn't everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don't follow these "classical" (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?
Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.
The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.
Don't forget op doesn't know it's summer in the southern hemisphere, and my english sucks, lol.
I thought that was the joke. Of course the whole planet isn't cold all at once.
I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.
Easy mate, I neither made nor voted on the fucking thing.
ruined
Lol
Lmao we wield immense power with our weird measurements I guess. This makes me want to use them more.
I was a bit confused before checking the comments and thought that the meme is saying that 60° F is considered too cold for Brazil. I didn't even consider 60° C as a possibility.
yooo it's in C?
Brazil is so tall it has like 6 different climatic regions. 5 of them are currently a burning oven and the other one is drowning in constant rainstorms and cyclones.
Either way I'm gonna be wet all the time, be it rain or sweat.
thats what she said last night

We don't use freedom units in Brazil
That's right; Brazil uses C⁰ (Caralh⁰) units.
For example, 60⁰ is "hot pra Caralh⁰"
Likewise, many temperatures can be considered "frio pra caralho", but it's a phrase one should never utter near a Curitibano
fuuuuuuuuuuck
The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.
Yeah, that's Celsius.
holy shit
C'mon, guys, it's not that ba-
And I thought dark-red is the hottest color.
units would help here, it's unclear if 60 is way too hot or slightly cold
A safe bet that if it's outside the U.S., it's Celsius. I don't think anyone would be alarmed about 60F even on the heat bulb chart.
you really want to be told "it's celsius, we are all fucked"
yes
I blame Ryan Gosling.
Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.
I blame Ryan Gosling.
Username checks out.
That's because it's my name, silly!
Those seasons make little sense here, to be fair. In the midwest, winter is hot and dry, summer is hot and rainy. Autumn and Spring are just inbetweens.
Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it's frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.
I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how "it's gonna be a really cold winter this year" everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was "soooo bad" despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.
It's just an el nino year! /s
Why would you be hoping for a cold winter in brazil right now? We're nearing summer.
