I don't know if it has anything to do with your topic, but acclimatization is a factor too.
Here in Saskatchewan, when it hits 0C in September, we shiver and complain and generally react like Brits and Texans. By December, it would take -20C to get that reaction.
Then winter comes.
In January, -10C is a heatwave. By March, 0C is T-shirt weather.
Incidentally, we can "measure" the temperature by observing whether or not puddles are frozen. But whether that is "warm" or "cold" depends on the time of year.
