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.
I don’t science anymore, but living in a F country, I keep in mind for conversions:
0C is freezing point of water ~32F
20-22C is room temp ~68-72F
30C+ is Unhappy temperatures/hot.
Really only things I need to remember, and gradient based off of. It can get up to 45C where I live, but that would never be important to me. I hate the heat, if it’s 30C+, the degree to which it is hot matters little, I’m going to just want to stay out of the sun or go inside.
Here 70F is perfect weather. For reference we set our a/c at 68 at night and it’s literally freezing cold if you walk though in your underwear. Any hotter and you’ll need to start dressing in lighter stuff. Any colder and you might wanna wear a flannel. Hell my house stays at 72 all day and it’s perfect.
Being from outside of the US I’m used to Celsius for everything, so I can make the same list, the numbers are just not whole 10s and I would probably round to nearest 5.
Never. They use the same spacing between degrees. The Kelvin scale was derived from the Celsius scale, just placing the 0° at absolute zero rather than at the freezing point of water.
Fun fact time, -40F is -40C.
And 575F is 575K
Fahrenheit is a strange scale.

A F country? You can just say the US, I doubt it’d be Cayman Islands or Liberia lol.

They probably don’t understand numbers not ending in 0.
It’s funny to assume that all people using Celsius are unable to ascertain how they will feel outside based on the temperature value.
I mean, I understand that round numbers are cute, but we are able to handle numbers ending in 5 as well as numbers ending in 0.
Somebody’s from the north. Even as warm blooded as I am 80 is a nice day and 90 is just annoyingly hot.
And at what temperatures are C and K equal?
Never. They use the same spacing between degrees. The Kelvin scale was derived from the Celsius scale, just placing the 0° at absolute zero rather than at the freezing point of water.
