I still remember being outside all day on a 102F/39C day in 2012. It was intense, going into a building with AC at first felt like when you open the door to the freezer.
I honestly think 44 C is much more extreme than -25 C. At -25 C you can add on clothes and take preventive measures to be reasonably comfortable. At 44 C there's no way to be comfortable unless you're inside in ice cold AC. I think it terms of extreme, 44 C is comparable to say -38 C or -40 C.
Yeah I didn t say that -40 C feels comfortable. That is why I said to compare these temperatures when someone is out and not inside. Let s compare 45 C for example with -40 C. What can you do at -40 C in Russia and what can you do with 45 C in Arabian Peninsula to be ok? How everyone of us would react?

Yeah, I know. I was just giving you my opinion on what is "equal" in terms of how extreme it is. I actually agree with you.
-40 C would be much tougher than -25 C but I still think you can be outside for a reasonable amount of time with right clothing or using the right precautions. At 45 C I feel like even just standing you would need to be constantly hydrated and under the shade. You would need to have a lot of clothing on at -40 C to be comfortable though.

Yeah I suppose that if I will experience -40 C I will add so many layers on me. At 45 C even in the shade it fells boiling. It is not like 30 C that you feel a bit relieved if you are under the shade. It is 45 C!!! You just feel like a boiling egg And even if you are nude it is dangerous especially under the sun!
At least in global terms and how often they both occur 44 C is a rather routine summer temperature in hot deserts and the latter is rather routine in the subarctic in winter.
Here's my scale:
38 C (100 F)= -18 C (0 F)
41 C (105 F)= -26 C (-15 F)
43 C (110 F)= -34 C (-30 F)
46 C (115 F)= -43 C (-45 F)
49 C (120 F)= -51 C (-60 F)
52 C (125 F)= -59 C (-75 F)
54 C (130 F)= -67 C (-90 F)
57 C (135 F)= -76 C (-105 F)
Remember it's on a scale of common they happen on a global scale. IMO, temperatures become extreme a lot faster above 100 F than they do below 0 F. 110 F has a much bigger difference in "extremity" from 100 F than -10 F does with 0 F.

Yeah, I didn't look at it globally. It makes more sense when you think of the whole world rather than just Melbourne.
That is a pretty decent scale, it matches up with most American climates record highs and lows (only the first 4 ones.)

I've never felt higher than 102F or lower than -7F.
Lowest I've felt was 0 F and highest was 113 F. The 113 F was more comfortable.
