Is 6 degrees Celsius cold?
Yes and No. You have to remember that 32ºF is equal to 0ºC. This is the point in which water freezes. So 6ºC is about 40ºF, which is a cold day, but no need for earmuffs and scarfs. It also depends on where you live in the world. Some places might think that 6ºC is very warm, like Greenland. Places near the equator would think that 6ºC is very, very cold.
