F is nice b/c it's pretty much on a 0-100 scale. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot. Anything below 0 or about 100 is pretty much death without proper care.

The corresponding range for C is -50C to +50C which covers virtually all human experience. 20-25C is typical indoor comfortable temperature. And veering from it either above or below makes things uncomfortable. 0C is freezing, below which hypothermia risk increases rapidly.

All nice whole round numbers.

And each block of 10 degrees has a mood and a feel. And easy to say.

- “It’s going to be in the 70’s”.

- “Nice!”

The precision is good too. A nice range in each block. And block crossover is fine.

- “Might hit the low 70’s later”

- “OK I’ll bring a packable hoodie.”
