xkcd #3001: Temperature Scales (xkcd.com)

In my new scale, °X, 0 is Earths' record lowest surface temperature, 50 is the global average, and 100 is the record highest, with a linear scale between each point and adjustment every year as needed.

I didn't avoid it, I was just hoping that there'd be an explanation that would make sense. "Well you know, this season is vaguely around this degree in general in some places and this around this, or maybe not, very natural and intuitive" wasn't very convincing lol. No offense.
