Fahrenheit is too granular, imo. In day to day life I almost always hear people talk about it in ranges of temperature (eg. “mid 70s”) which defeats the point of having a more granular system.
Even in Celsius you often “it’s been 25 and 30” etc. Weather is just not a super accurate thing, it can be different up or down the hill, at the next town over, etc, so I don’t get the granularity argument. Maaaybe I can understand the one about 0 to 100 making sense for weather related temperatures to people used to it, maybe.
Except you don’t actually need that level of accuracy when talking about temperatures humans experience.
For example, has the ability to identify outside temperature of 72 fahrenheit, not 71 fahrenheit, ever made a single bit of difference to any persons day to day experience? I really can’t believe that would be true.
Places that use Celsius have no problem referring to temperatures for weather so the argument that farhenheit scale is superior due to more precision doesn’t hold up.
The best temperature scale for weather is always going to be the one that everyone in that area is familiar with and nothing more than that.
No argument here. Fahrenheit offers better granularity within the range of temps that humans are likely to experience.
