Is 17 degrees celsius cold in new orleans? -

Umm...Im writing a book and it s set in NEW ORLEANS in December and I live in London so i don t know if 17 degrees is cold or not...Help..?

17 degrees celsius is about 62 degrees farenheit, so that s not very cold to begin with, but with the humidity, that s pretty comfortable. Basically, if it s 62 degrees outside, I d probably be wearing a light sweater or something.

17C would be a normal high temperature for New Orleans in December, though slightly above average. A local would consider it cold once the temperature got down to about 5C.The weather can get quite cold in New Orleans but the city stays green all year most years as it rarely goes below freezing and almost never snows. We pay for the nice winters with brutally hot, humid summers.

0 degrees Celsius is freezing; 37 degrees Celsius is human body temperature; 17 is closer to freezing than human body tempThough it sometimes gets cold in New Orleans, it is rarely freezing. Usually New Orleans is exceptionally HOT and HUMID. In the U.S. we use Farenheit NOT Celsius. New Orleans would typically be between 70 and 110 Farenheit.

17 degrees celsius is the same temperature all over the world

maybe not
