The only two questions I ever ask Siri are "how cold is it outside?" and "wake me up {at HHam, in X minutes}"

I'm curious that you want to know the temperature specifically, rather than the weather. I'm guessing that's for reasons other than clothing choice?

I just feel like I get a more actionable answer than the "It's a bit chilly and overcast" I get when I ask about the weather – how do I know if Siri and I agree on what's chilly or not?

Cool, pretty sure for weather Alexa says something like "in $place today it's 10 degree with a light breeze and 40% chance of rain; with a high of 13 and a low of 8; have a good $day".
