    Fahrenheit makes sense for humans. Most of your day to day climates are in the 0 to 100 scale, and every 10 degrees is a noticeable level change.

    • 100 super hot day, approaching unsafe without counter measures
    • 90 really hot day, slightly annoying and should take precautions
    • 80, hot day, more annoying than anything
    • 70, beautiful day, enjoy it
    • 60 not to bad, if it’s windy you could be slightly on the cold side
    • 50 long sleeves or maybe a hoodie
    • 40 definitely a jacket, and hat
    • 30 full on coat, scarfe, and hat
    • 20 multiple layers of out for a while, maybe double pants
    • 10 annoyingly cold, need to start thinking about the safety precautions
    • 0 and below, temperature now measured in hold long you can be outside before danger

    Celsius makes sense for science stuff because it’s derived from science stuff, so things like calories and energy work with it. But it doesn’t really apply to everyday life as well. So it actually makes sense to use both units for the things the are good at.

      Just an fyi, 100F is not “unsafe without counter measures” level of hot. That would be around 115+F. I say this as someone from a city that regularly hits 120F during the summer. 100 you can still get in your car, 115+ you need to wear gloves or else you’ll get 3rd degree burns. 100 have to buy pizza for lunch, 115+ just bake a pizza in your car.
