    Fahrenheit is better for weather, and I’ll fight anyone about it.

    We use Celsius in the lab because it makes math easier, it’s great.

    But Fahrenheit is basically a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside and that makes perfect sense for describing outside conditions relative to human sensory perception.

      You’re just used to it. The rest of the world have 0 problems using it for weather.

        It’s just a hilarious argument, like, as if anyone who grew up with Celsius is going to agree Fahrenheit is better for weather (hint: neither is better). Who are they trying to convince?

            I suppose you’d ultimately use whatever is on your oven, so you’re likely right. I can’t speak for Europeans but Australia is all Celsius ovens, so I find myself converting from US recipes.

            Hmm, just realised I can add the F numbers on my oven dial, that’s probably easier.

            Now, don’t get my started on the British ‘Gas Mark 4’ etc.
