Francophone countries, like most other countries of the world, use the metric system, so temperature is measured in degrees centigrade or Celsius rather than Fahrenheit.This means that the freezing point of water is 0C, and its boiling point is 100C.

Note culturelle (p. 119)
A comfortable temperature would be 25C (77F).If the temperature were more than 35C, it would be very hot.If the temperature were 18C (64.4C), you would probably need a jacket.If the temperature were 15C, what month might it be?

Note culturelle (p. 119)
