Confused about sleeping bag temperature ratings (lemmy.world)

Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?

I was incredibly confused until I worked out you’re talking Fahrenheit… all I can add is what someone else said: the extreme rating is not a position you want to ever be in. Although it is preferable to death…

Sorry, I don't often think in metric.

No apologies needed. It seems that I don’t often think in Fahrenheit…
