We’re taught both metric and US customary units in school. I prefer metric for most things, to the point I have a metric-only tape measure among other things.
However, I’ll die on the hill that Fahrenheit is superior for ambient air temperature. 0 degrees to 100 degrees neatly encompasses the range of average surface temperatures seen throughout the year in the contiguous US.
There’s only about 30° difference between freezing and unbearably hot. Doesn’t seem accurate enough.
Accurate? It’s accurate; 0º water freezes. 100º water boils. 40º weather is hot AF. 40º and humid, is miserable.
Sure, for science, it’s brilliant. In the real world nobody really cares about anything beyond halfway to boiling.
Under 40, bundle up
40s wear a coat.
50s jacket
60s hoodie
70s indoor clothes
80s as little as possible
90s naked
Vs.
4-10 wear a coat
10-15 jacket
15.6-20.5 hoodie
21.1 -26.1 indoor clothes
26.6-32.2 as little as possible
Over 32.2 naked
I didn’t have to add decimals to any of the F values. There is no noticeable difference at half a degree fahrenheit.
