F is more intuitive.... only to Americans.

but considering that the freezing point of water is 0°C, and the boiling point is 100°C, isn't that much easier to put into perspective?

Barry_mc_cockiner :
USA: water freezes at 32 and boils at 212. EU: water feeezes at 0 and boils at 100. Yeah, imperial units make a lot of sense 🤡

cysso :
but...when its freezing its 0C°, not 32F° it kinda makes more sense for weather

James Lamprey :
I agree. Yes, I concede that Celsius is easier to identify freezing or boiling temperatures but ever other way F wins

Fahrenheit is how humans feel, Celsius is how water feels

It’s more precise than Celsius too when using integers

francis :
yeah it’s the same as saying its in the 20s 30s or 40s i don’t get what you’re trying to say

On the other hand. Water freezes at 0 Celsius and boils at 100 Celsius.

Growing up in Europe we use C° and we do say that its in the 20s 30s and 40s. Cant understand F° tbh

Potato :
I get what you mean, but can't you do the same with C°? You can say we're at 30, 15, 0...

Immanuel :
No sir you do get a feel for it with Celsius as well just like you guys do a so that's argument doesn't really work😂

Man Celsius is better especially when it comes to weather. When it's 0 or bellow it means snow. If it's 35 or 40 it means hot summer in Greece😂😂

Jake :
the american system is wrong in all kinds of ways. celcius is way better cause it has a system. we can use it for everything. wanna boil some water?

illustrathor :
0 is freezing, 100 is boiling so a 25 is pretty much a perfectly comfortable temperature. how easier can it get?

Scouty Dave :
In Australia we have the same thing using Celsius. "Low 20s is good", "30s is beach weather", "40s I'm melting"

Chris Fernandez :
yes we do. in Argentina from 25 on is good for the beach. above 35 we say "summer is bursting" above 40 we cry and suffer a slow death 😂

Bruhhh it’s the exact same in celsius. Americans saying “it’s in the 70s today” is the same as the rest of the world saying “it’s in the 20s today”.

Niko M. :
I hope that he just wanted to please Americans. Because for weather both have the same difficulty. It just depends on which system you use regularly.
