This is exactly how I feel when my American colleagues discuss the weather in Fahrenheit.
0: Fuck, it's cold out there!
100: Fuck, it's hot out there!
If you go somewhere outside this range - leave.
Fahrenheit is, surprisingly, somewhat intuitive in the very specific case of weather.
Not that it never goes beyond the extremes of the scale, but very broadly speaking, 0-100 F is your weather range, with 0F being cold as balls and 100F being hot as balls.
The balls scale of weather temperature is significantly less intuitive.
I feel like no matter where you go, most people would agree that 0F is really cold and 100F is really hot.
Again, not that it never goes beyond those, but it's a quick and effective scale.
