Fun fact time, -40F is -40C.
And 575F is 575K
Fahrenheit is a strange scale.
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.
It depends on what you were raised with. For me I have all these relevant points in my head for C. 25 is nice, under 20 you slowly need to dress longer stuff. Over 30 is hot, over 40 sucks hard, over 50 can become deadly soon. Body temp is around 37.
