You only feel this way because you’re accustomed to Fahrenheit. I grew up with Celsius, and to me that feels like the perfect temperature scale. Fahrenheit feels weird and arbitrary to me.
I grew up with Fahrenheit, but switched my weather app to use Celsius for a while, and I’ve internalized it pretty well. It works fine. The “human experience” angle doesn’t work anyway because that experience is very locale-dependent.
It kind of is, but a good way to think of it is the percentage of hot it is. 70F is like 20C, which is a nice temperature. 0F is about -17C, which is very not hot, one might even say zero percent hot. 110F is about 43C, which is very hot, one might even say 110% hot
I’m 100% in on the metric system, but Fahrenheit is the best way to measure weather.
0F is my freezing point 100F is my boiling point
Fuck freezing/boiling of water!
Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.

It’s just what you grew up with. I’ll stick with Celsius
-15f is my “freezing point” and anything above 75 is uncomfortably hot. See what you mean?
0f is based on brine, but it just happens to correlate with it being fucking freezing for weather
