    The interestingness of the temperature is very dependent on where you are and what the normal temperature for the time of year is

      The temperature here was very interesting for a second or two until I remembered some people use °F.

        Translation for those of us in the civilized world:

        The temperature yesterday was between 26° and 32°. The forecast shows it may get all the way to 43° in the coming week.

      It’s pretty much normal, for this area, except for the 110F forecast for this week. To go from mild 80’s weather to that, this early in June is odd.

          You could go hang out in Africa. I think they use Celsius there.

          Not sure why this was downvoted. I have visited the Seychelles and Ethiopia. I think they both use Celsius. 🤷‍♀️

      interestingness

      I feel like that’s not a word. Is it?

      Either way, there’s gotta be another word for that.

        Probably not, but more concise than “amount of interest piqued”

          I’m really struggling to find a better word, even with the help of a thesaurus. They’re either not the same, or have too much of a positive meaning. Maddening.

          Yeah, I mean, I looked it up after I posted the comment, but my shock then was from my inability to find a suitable synonym or other expression to replace it. Oh well.

            allure, charm, beauty, attraction, attractiveness, fascination, pleasingness, interestingness, glamor, charmingness, engagingness, seductiveness

            You’re right, none of these really fit

            Isn’t English wonderfully stupid 😂
