It's too hot, just right, cool, etc. But what we don't get is precise interval data; for this we use measuring machines. The best we can get with our senses is a catagorical interpretation of the data.
Example: in 1980 it was hot in Oklahoma. After weeks of temperatures reaching 45C nearly every afternoon, I was standing in the shade waiting for a shuttle bus and thinking, "Gosh! It's pretty pleasant today!" The radio in the bus agreed - it was only 40C that day!
Yeah, Larni: actually measuring things leads to some surprises. The ability to do so seems to me to be one of the big factors separating cultures with technology from non-technological ones. You can't build a pyramid without a measuring tape.
