    Personally I like Fahr better because there’s more resolution

    I’m also really good at guessing the current weather, often to within 1 degree F and 3% humidity

    Also Fahrenhiet 0 just feels more practical to me. Like 20 F isn’t THAT cold for me, but that’s equal to -7 C. In Fahrenheit if I see a negative number I know it’s really fucked outside. A negative Celsius number is often just a “typical” winter day and nothing to care about. Of course this in itself is very eurocentric temperate-centric, same with all the weather map colors that shade in 75F as a “warm” temperature with the color red–like that’s just an extremely comfortable temperature and should be something like green.

    It’s pretty vibes based–but the vibality could be improved

      I have never encountered a single situation where having more resolution would have done anything for me.

        I was going to say that. When dealing with weather and cooking, celcius is accurate enough to a degree, and when do anything scientific where I may need 0.1 if a degree, I’d use celcius anyway because it plays better with the rest of science and it’s almost as likely that I’d need to use decimals in Farenheit at that point too.
